HAIttttSBTJRG, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1892. VOJj. NO. 148. ESTABLISHED' 1831.

LAST EDITM. HOT ANSWERED. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE LETTERS How an Alaska Indian Himself. Decorated Chief Glebe Bierlt, of the Lochiel Hotel, ia somewhat of a wag, also a Biblical student. The other evening a Sentleman named P.

P. Paul, of Phila elphia, registered, and directly afterwards G. II. Galatians, a furniture man from Kingston, New York, put his name on the book. Mr.

Bierly, very solemnly, asked the last comer: "Mr. 3alatians, have you seen Paul?" "No," said Galatians, "I haven't." "Well, he wants to see you. 4 Wants to see me?" said Galatians; "that's strange. I don't know him. What does he want "He wants," said Bierly with a twinkle, to know why you didn't answer that letter he wrote you about eighteen hundred years ago." And Galatians dropped into a chair and gasped.

Somewhat on a line with that story is the one of the Lock Haven gentleman who was very much inebriated, and who sat down in the street because he was too tired to proceed farther. A good citizen happening along tenderly took the weary man up and saw him home. As tho inebriate was about to close the door, he said: "Thanksh! Wha ehure name Paul, was the answer. "Tha' so? Well, Paul, I'd like to know wun' thing." "Well," said Mr. Paul.

"Did yevver git 'nanswer to that letter y' wro' to 'Phesians Mr. Paul declined to answer. "Evbet time I see women wearing ear rings," said the gentleman from the State of Washington, it reminds me of the Alaska Indian's love for ornament. During the hop picking season Washington is over run with Alaska Indians who work their way South in their dug out canoes selling trinkets and baskets until they get to Tacoma. They dig holes in their faces and fasten in all sorts of queer ornaments, but are partial to silver and glass.

At Tacoma they pull their canoes up on the river bank, and then go into the hop picking region where they work very hard until the season is over. Then they go back to Tacoma launch their "canoes and paddle North to the inner channel to Alaska, going as far as Juneau. They will only take silver money in payment, and always refuse gold and notes. The reason for this is that they use the silver to make ornaments, not only to decorate themselves, but also to sell. One of the quaintest decorations I ever saw was that on an Alaska Indian who was so old his hair was gray.

When an Indian's hair is gray he is very old. And yet this old fellow was as vain as a giddy female. He had a great hole in his left cheek through which he would thrust an ornament, and he frequently changed it. One time he would have a big piece of hammered silver in his cheek, and again a brass rivet, but his crowning glory that" he wore with much pride was the glass stopper of a Worcestershire sauce bottle. When he got that in he was the biggest Indian in all the hop country."

One of the dispatches from the people of the flooded and burned cities of Oil City and Titusville to Governor Pattison says: "Our misery is greater than we can find words to express.

The dispatches are not exaggerated in the least. Indeed, not half the misery and distress can be told." This is one of the most pitiful cries for help ever sent out to the citizens of a great State, and it calls for prompt response from our people. Let the people of Harrisburg and Dauphin county give something to relieve the awful distress of the homeless in these two stricken cities, and let them give now when their assistance will do the most good.

CAPITOL HILL. Secretary Edge, of the State Board of Agriculture, has received reports from all parts of the State from which he is en abled to make some ciop estimates. He says there is an increased acreage of wheat, and with the average yield placed at 100, returns indicate the crop ol lo'J2 at 112. with a possible 115 with favorable weather at harvest time. The crop of straw will be considerably below that of last year, but up to the average of the last ten or twelve years, lie ana wet spring has seriously affected the corn.

and the farmers will lose 500,000 busheis. Oats have also suffered from wet weather and the cold spring. There will be a larger crop than last year, however, owing to an Increased acreage. Owing to the low prices which prevailed, the acreage in potatoes is reduced, leaving it at about 125,000 acres. An average crop may be expected.

The yield of hay will be below the average of the past ten years. Secretary Edge says, considered as a whole, average crops may be estimated, with an advance in prices all along the line. Live stock is in good shape.

JUDGE SIMOIITON DECIDES INJUNCTION IS NOT DISSOLVED Walnut Street Must be Restored to Its Former Condition.

Judge Simonton gave the lawyers and all others interested in the street railway controversy a surpnse tms morning Dy announcing his conclusions in me vamui Street case verbally. His written opinion will follow later. He refuses to dissolve the injunction restraining the Harrisburg and East Harrisburg Passenger railway companies from laying track on Walnut street, and, pursuant to his decision, a decree will be made requiring the defendant corporations to restore the street to its original condition. He wanted it understood that the question involved is the right of the companies one or both in Walnut street. No question as to their rights in other parts of the city, or as to the lines now in operation, he stated, entered into the case, and his decision applies only to Walnut street.

He didn't hink the electrical ordinance played any part in the present controversy, and the estoppel proposition of the companies had no weight, because of the fact that no money had been expended on Walnut street in pursuance of a contract with the city. "It does not figure in this case," said the court, "and we decide nothing as to the ordinance." Taking up the two corporations separately, he said the East Harrisburg company had no rights this side of the canal by reason of its charter. The act of Assembly under which it was incorporated clearly states that it shall have no power to occupy streets without consent of the local authorities. The only rights of the East Hrrrisburg company this side of the canal, said the court, are what it gets from the Harrisburg City Passenger railway company under the so called lease or agreement. All work on Walnut street has been done, and is intended to be done, by the East Harrisburg company, and it appears from the lease, in effect, that the Harrisburg City Passenger railway company will not do any work.

Clause seven of the lease was quoted from as showing htfw the Harrisburg City Passenger railway company is obligated to do eertain things if required by the East Harrisburg company. This, said the court, is an undertaking on the part of the Harrisburg City Passenger railway company to transfer not only its right to construct a railway in the street, but the right to construct an electric railway, and not only this, but to transfer the discretion of determining the propriety and expediency of constructing such a railwayed to bind itself to be controlled by the discretion of another company. The court held that the acts of 1861 and 1870, as construed by the Supreme Court, do authorize one street railway company to I lease its road to another, if connecting, but that this does not authorize the lease of a road unbuilt. There is therefore no authorization in the acts quoted of the lease or transfer of the right to build, the power to use discretion when to build, or the right to claim the inviolability of a contract with the State for the right to build without consent of the city authorities. It was an attempt, said the court, to transfer to the East Harrisburg company all its rights and franchises except its right to exist as a corporation.

Judge Simonton remarked that the companies manifestly had no right to make a contract of this kind. This clause seven is beyond the powers of the corporation. He didn't think the East Harrisburg company had any rights, therefore, under this clause, nor had the Harrisburg City Passenger company the right to build a line without consent of the city authorities, unless by reason of the act of 18C1, and its franchises and rights having been transferred, it was not in position to claim any rights under its charter, and to raise the point that the city had not acted in good faith. City Solicitor Middleton was directed to prepare a decree, and, after submitting it to counsel for the defendant corporations, present it to the court for approval. COURT PROCEEDINGS.

inuceu, tins result of the coutest is generally conceded now, even by the friends of Hill and Boies, the only rivals of tho ex President in the field to uay, aiiuougn mere is every indication that the ex President's opponents will go down to defeat with colors flying and the solid support of their respective States behind them. All the darK norses and compromise candidates are displaying great agility in arraying themselves in the Cleveland column. Gorman declares for the ex Presidcnt, and says he will receive the unanimous support of the Maryland delegation. The friends of Morrison are among the Clevelund shouters, and the friends of Pattison and Campbell are all numbered among the active supporters of the ex President to day. It is generally expected that ex Governor Gray, of Indiana, will be the nominee for the Vice Presidency.

He will be presented for that place by his own State delegation, and it is understood that the consent of the Grav men to the with drawal of their Presidential candidate and the casting of the solid vote of In diana for Cleveland was only given on the assurance that the Cleveland leaders would favor Gray for Vice President. As the Cleveland organization is now very thorough and well disciplined, there is little doubt that any compact of the leaders will oe carried out to the letter iu convention. So secure are the Cleveland people in their position that they have decided to make no right against the se'eetion of "Mr. Owens, of Kentucky, as temporary chairman. Mr.

Owens has been identified with the anti Cleveland people, and indeed is a candidate of that faction for the temno rary chairmanship. ine lammanv leaders of New York still sullen ard defiant, and maintain with much persistercy that Cleveland can never carry the Empire State. They assert that if Cleveland is to be nominated the New Yoik delegation will enter its protest against his nomination by casting its 72 votes for Hill, refusing to join in the usual formality of making the nomination of the ex President unanimous. This assertion, however, is made by the rank and file rather than by the leaders of the Hill forces, and it is still hoped by the Cleve land people that when the decisive mo ment arrives the New York delegation will gracefully join in making the nomi nation of Cleveland unanimous. In the midts of all the wordv warfare of this great National Convention there is one man who has made a remarkable reputation for silence It is the Hon.

Calvin S. Brice, Senator from Ohio, and cbairman of the National Democratic Committee. Mr. Brice has for months been understood to be oposed to the re nomination of Cleveland, but he has been so discreetly silent all the past week that no one exactly understands the part that he has played in this great contest. The Senator himself maintains with much suavity that he is not participating in anv way in the selection of the Presidential candidate.

As delegate at large from the State of Ohio he will have a vote to cast, and up to this time it was supposed that the vote would be cast against Grover Cleveland. But the Senator, without giving any intimation of the accuracy or in accuracy of this coniecture. simnlv states that, as chairman of the National Committee, he thinks it will be indecorous in him to attempt to control the will of the convention in the selection of its Presidential candidate. Every effort of the Cleveland people to persuade the Hawk eye delegation to desert Boies and cast their rotes for the ex President has proved ignaiiy unsuccessiui. Boles Will Stick.

Des6ite the indication that Cleveland will be nominated on the first ballot, the Boies people say that their candidates will remain in the race to the end. Indeed, these people are almost as bitter as the mil managers in their protestations against the nomination of Cleveland. Almost every assertion that has been made by the Tammany people as to the inability of Cleveland to carry the Empire State finds a grateful reception and immediate repetition in the Iowa headquarters.
