Search for the missing bank president. Joseph G. Ditman. in tbe Cbamouni lake has been abandoned, and, as all former searches, no clue was found which might lead to the discovery of the missing man. The general belief is, and always has been, that Mr.

Ditman is not in tbe Schuylkill, and ill I IK Froressor Spelling will hold a seminar on Monday night next, when Matthew Prior will be "the subject of discussion. A comparison between Prior and Horace will be attempted.

Tnat the University's efforts towards Improvement are appreciated not only at home but abroad, is shown by a recent letter received by Provost Pepper from Sir James Paeet. in which he heartily commends tbe work being done bytheuewbioloirical school. Those who desire to make a close study of tbe Hible will soon be accommodated. A course, under the supervision of Dr. W.

B. Harper, of Yale University, will be betrun on January 12, at the Church or the Hoiy Trinity, and will be continued for the nine successive ARCH I EIGHTH ILHJD Already the political pottage has begun not only to simmer over the river for November, bat politics has reached the boiling point The first bone of contention will be the choice of a State Senator for Camden county, vice George Pfeirter, Democratic incumbent, who owes his election in a county that gave 2,800 majority for Grnbb over Abbett to a deadly feud between the whiM rose and the red rose warfare between General Sewell and Consul General to Liverpool Tom Dudley; Pfeiffer slipped tn between the warring and jarring. Pfeiffer was a winner in a strong Republican county solely by reason of the triangular fight, when two Republican candidates cut their party vote in two! AX IMPORTANT CONTEST. The importance of the contest can be appreciated from the fact that the Senators to be elected in 1890 all have a vote for a successor to Rufus Blodgett, the junior Democratic United States Senator from New Jersey, who goes out on the 4th of March, 1892. It is not likely that Blodgett will succeed himself, as it is understood that he is willing to go back to his railroad management as OUR DOORS WILL BE CLOSED TO MORROW UNTIL TWELVE O'CLOCK M.

Ditman contemplated flight, aud a long list of creditors are anxiously awaiting news as to his whereabouts. Ditman, on the day of bis disappearance, is said to have carried with him nearly $00,000 in cash, the larger part of which he borrowed from his family and intimate friends. From his brother, A. J. Ditman, he borrowed $4,000, and from his wife he secured $3,500, and other sums from his mother and sister.

Andreas Erdick, a brewer, of Frankford, also loaned Mr. Ditman 1,700, and a produce dealer at Second and Callowhill streets is also known to have contributed several thousand to the fund. MRS. DITMAN BETICENT. A reporter called upon Mrs.

Ditman yesterday at her residence, 1921 Spring Garden street When she entered the parlor she appeared to be still suffering greatly from nervous prostration, resulting from her husband's disappearance. When asked if it were trne that Mr. Ditman had borrowed money from his family and friends she replied "I know nothing about my husband's actions. All I do know is that he was the kindest of husbands, and I think has been very unfairly treated." Didn't he borrow some money before he disappeared I don't know." "Ho borrowed money from you, didn't he I tell yon I know nothing and desire not to talk about the case at all." It has been publicly stated that Mr. Ditman borrowed several thousand dollars from his relatives before he disappeared.

Ab bett's election for Governor settled the question of his absolute right to command and demand Senatorial honors if his party carries the Legislature. Of course General William Joyce Sewell will be his opponent, as Sewell is admitted to be the Republican leader in the State, which John Khoderirk Mcpherson says is as true to her Democratic moorings as is South Carolina. AS VP HILL FIGHT. A herculean struggle is the condition that confronts the Republicans next fall.

They must elect five out of the eight Senators to be elected next November to retain the majority of one they now rejoice in in controlling the State Senate. Ex Consul Dudley's health has been so infirm of late that he may surrender his claims to the Senatorial purple, but as far as his fight against Sewell goes he is an irreconcilable. Some of General Sewell's friends would be glad to see Sheriff David Baird make the riffle for the Senatorial nomination, but it cost the Sheriff I a pretty penuv to win his own triangular i Ladies', MissesChildren's Underwear Never within the history of our Underwear business have we been able to offer such prominent and wonderful bargains in fine Muslin and Cambric Underwear as we will offer to morrow.

The trustees have the power to examine belong to the county, and to separate these from the fees which are scooped in under the doubtful powers claimed by the clerk), will be a candidate again, as he goes out with a moderate fortune. The Yonrtg Republicans have selected Robert L. Barber as their candidate for County Clerk. Mr. Barber is a leading member of the swell Republican Club in Cooper street, and having been slated for a very important office under Harrison quietly yielded to the inevitable and surrendered his claims at the request of the older leaders of the party.

This leaves Mr. Barber in good shape to make the race for County Clerk, and it is generally admitted that he has all the qualifications needful to come in under the wire an easv winner. Mr. Barber has never been an office holder and having the certain backing of Mr. Willard Morgan, City Solicitor, and the best equipped of the Republican leaders, has as near a sure thing for the best ollice in Camden county as ever falls to the lot of a young man in the uncertain paths of political ambition.

Ex Tax Receiver William Henry Harrison Rightmeyer, who has sued the city of Camden for $5,000 back salary, which, he claims, is withheld from him, is willing to try conclusions with Mr. Barber for the Clerkship, but it is not likely that he will make a formidable, antagonist.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

Sheriff Davy Baird, who has made a good Sheriff, is prohibited from running again by the State Constitution. But the Sheriff will doubtless throw the weight of his official and personal influence iu favor of his handsome deputy, Henry West, of Gloucester city, who will be strengthened by the fact that he comes from the country, when in fact the last two Sheriffs hailed from Camden city. Mr. West has troops of friends and is likely to make a winning fight against Ex Assemblyman Higgins and Mahlon Joins, the painter and ex member of Council, both of whom have long cherished the ambition to fill the place now so well filled by Davy Baird. The present Democratic Senator, George Pfeiffer, who is a close and confidential friend of United States Senator John Rhod erick McPherson, will again be a Democratic candidate for re election, but he has nothing on which to base his hopes for a second term in the Senate, outside of Republican entirely too liberal.
