JoHNsTowN, PENN, Sept. 10.
This is the location of the Cambria Iron
Company, the largest establishment of the
kind in America. Being in the midst of
the Allegheny mountains, the town is sur
rounded by hills or mountains. Running
through them, nearly horizontal, are large
seams of lead, iron, and limestone, all that
lis required to make iron. Much of the
minerals is mined two hundred feet above
the level plain on which the works stand,
and they are hardly in daylight, before they
are mixed and pitched into the fiery fur
mace. The tops of four large blast-fur-
naces are on level with the drifts into the
iron mines. The coal is coaked on the
same level. After the pig-iron is made.
it is loaded on cars, and run directly to the
puddle-furnaces, from which it is rolled into
railroad iron. The company have lately
put in operation the Besmen process
of steel making for rails, using two
converters, not now in operation, by
reason of slight breakdown. The
Ingot rolls and steam hammer were
in operation. IL was wonderful with
what ease and precision ingots of steel,
weighing 1,200 pounds, are rolled and
hammered. Machinery is used here to the
utmost possible extent in lifting and carry
ing the material and finished iron and steel
from place to place, during the process of
manufacture; not piece is lifted by
hand. Besides the iron works at this
place, the company has others in another
county making charcoal iron, to be used
for steel making, also woolen factory
:and other shops |; in fact, doing all within
themselves, employing over 1000 men,
80 steam engines, over 300 horses and
mules, and making over 800 tons of iron
and steel a day.
A hear now and then word dropped in
relation to the great struggle that's just
rising in Europe and this country between
labor and the employer. In England, the
workers in iron work labor for less than
half the price they get in this country.
With labor remaining as it is now here and
in England, and our present tariff, the Eng
lish iron workers can undersell the workers
.along the coast regions of the State. Let
tthc lime hour movement prevail in England,
very little of their iron can come to this
country let the eight hour system prevail
here, and they can furnish all we want a
lower prices than it can ever be made at th,
Cambria works. Let the present duty b,
removed, and our mechanics must labol
for half the present wages, or the iroi
works must be closed and the laborers q
at other employment. This is what tn
free-traders are now attempting to accom-
plish, backed by English gold distributes
by their agents, the importers, in the larg
cities. hr
| see by the papers that the city 3
Springfield, Illinois, has given s26, 900 cas-
towards starting iron works in that city

THE HUsTINGs CoURT.-The trial of
johnson II. Sands drags its slow length
along in this court, and it is probable that
the examination of witnesses will continue
until Wednesday, as the testimony for the
Commonwealth has not yet been concluded.
Allowing two days for argument of coun-
Gil, the whole week will be consumed with
this trial, and even more if the present jury
should take long to agree on verdict.
Two witnesses occupied the box this
forenoon-NIr. John w. Cole and Mr..
Samuel Page, the latter of whom was tcsti-
flying when we left the courtroom.

6G,l79. If we deduct 81 ,03S, the popula-
ton of Richmond, from this number, it will
be seen that the rest of the county has but
1914 inhabitants, which number is divi-
ded as follows: Brookland, 1912; Fair
field, 1850; Tuckahoe, 3,339 Varina,
3,2l0. Richmond is credited with three

The NANCE CAsE.-The Judge OF the
United States District Court, sitting in
Lynchburg, decided on Saturday, we learn
from the Vrginian, that the Circuit Court
of Bedford had no jurisdiction in the suit
brought in said court to subject the lands
of Nance, and others as his securities, so
far as Nance was concerned; and that said
suit could not be prosecuted as to the lands
of Nance, and therefore directed the neces-
sary accounts to be taken in this court.
The Court would therefore appoint new
assignee, require of him bond, and have
the land sold free of liens and the money
paid to lien creditors accordingto their pri-
critics.

in America, and is, as might have been ex-
pected, receiving its share of praise from
the Michiganders.

THE FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
New York, September 1G.-The injunc-
ton does not clog the municipal affairs,
there being Sl2, 100000 free in the trca-
sury.
Another meeting of the Committee of
Seventy was held at the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday. The only business of
consequence was the appointment of a COM
mittee to draft an address to the people OF
the State, advising them of the necessity of
a new city charter.
She joint committee of citizens and
supervisors report no over-issue Of city or
county bonds, and that the data was COR
rectly stated in August at $7l 100000,
The subcommittee for the investigation
of details will report next week.
Gov. Hoffman had private interview
with Hall and Connolly to-day.
The friends of Connolly propose mass
meeting to protest against the action towards
him by three other Tammany chieftains.
A preliminary meetingof twenty of Con-
nolly's friends was held this evening to pre-
pare for public demonstration in his favor.
The only speakers were Ex-Coroner Cover
and Peter McCorry, of the Irish People
newspaper, both Of whom expressed faith
in the integrity of Connolly, blamed Judge
Barnard for making distinction between
the defendants, and declared that the de-
fcndants ought to stand shoulder to shoul-
der.
Resolutions were passed to the effect that
the singing out of the Comptroller for
sacrifice was the result of conspiracy of
tricky members.
SUICIDE OF A DISTING UISHED MIL
ITARY PROFESSOR.
Neao York, September 16.--Prof. d. II.
Mahan, of West Point, committed suicide
to-day by jumping from steamboat bound
hither from West Point, He was the educa-
tor Of most of the distinguished military
officers of the day.
Prof. Mahan went on board the "Mary
Powell'' this morning at West Point on his
way to New York, and nothing peculiar
was noticed in his manner. About an hour
after going on board he jumped from the
steamer, forward of the wheel, into the
river. He was undoubtedly struck by the
wheel, as his body did not come to the sur
face. Boats were lowered and every effort
made to save him, but without success.
His act was undoubtedly deliberate, as
his coat and overshoes were found in the
vicinity where he made the fatal Jump.
He went on board the steamer with his
!
house-keeper, who seemed to have suspic-
ions that the old gentleman was in trouble.
He said to her, "Don't follow me about J"
and soon after he succeeded in getting away
from her, and disappeared. lie was seen
to make the fatal leap by one of the pilots,
who gave the alarm. Prof. Mahan was
about 70 years old, and was apparently
hale and hearty. Search will be made at
once to recover his body.

ORGANIZE.

The failure of the State Central Commit
tee to provide for the organization of the
State, devolves that duty upon Republicans
in the several Assembly and Senatorial dis
tricts. We trust our friends will every
where realize the pressing Importance of Sc
curing the thorough accomplishment of this
work. No results can be satisfactorily cer-
tain without every citizen is correctly in-
formed as to the nature of the issues in
volved in the conflict. Wake the people
to a realizing sense of the importance
of saving every vote.
Get papers and distribute them; hold
meetings at every school-house and cross
road, and if no speakers can attend, read
the latest papers to the people. Remem-
Der that one days work now will do inl-
mensely more than just before election,
when the people are committed to their fa-
vorite candidates. Talk over and discuss
the important questions atissue in kindness
and good temper with your neighbors, and
convince them of the truth of Republican
principles.

THE robbery Of the comptroller's office
in New York, and the abstraction of whole
packages of important vouchers seems to
have been one of the most timely pieces OF
felony ever perpetrated. Perhaps this rob-
berry served more purposes than that Of
concealing records and accounts merely
Those s4,000,00O in government bonds
which the taxpayers were in hopes to be
able to levy upon, have they been seen since
that night ? One of the tricks of the, ,thief's
trade is that of getting his plunder out Of
his hands and into those Of an unknown
confederate at the earliest possible mo.
ment.
Or perhaps this accommodating burglar
only stole the vouchers which Comptroller
Connolly depended on to prove that his &C.
counts were all straight.

A SOUND MIND INA SOUND BODY

We do not hesitate to attribute q
large portion of the invalidism of
the women of to-day, not to their sex,
but to their dress. 1t is largely this
which renders them inactive, helpless,
languid, unambitious and dependent.
The compressed, suffering, distorted
body, moro hardened with clothes than
was Bunyan's Pilgrim with his pack of
sin, racked with pains, starved with
dyspepsia, this is weight" on the
womnnly soul. There is no chance for
spiritual health, whore tho body is tor
tnred and hopelessly suffering. For the
correspondence between body and soul
is mafvelously intimate.. AS one is, so
will the other be. Lack OF physical
strength renders women ''uncertain,
coy and hard to please, exacting, peev-
ish, selfish, good -for-nothing. A grand
and noble womanhood must have a
sound physical basis. 1t is the great
prerequisite. And women can never
attain to a noble mental and moral alti-
tnde while they are the miserably feeble,
