He DENIES IT.-Iast week we published a
statement from the Dover correspondent of
ErGy EreniRg to the effect that Mr. McFar
land, of West Chester. who has in charge the
McConkey estate, had written letter to his
agent, at Dover stating that if the Legisla-
ture failed to repeal or modify the usury law
he would be compelled to foreclose mortgages
to the amount of $3.50, 900 held By him in that
vicinity.
Mr.. Mcfarland denies the statement in a
letter to the West Chester AewS, in which he
says
II take this method of informing your many
readers and the originator Of this false piece
OF news, that there is not word of truth i'm
his statement, and my many friends in
Delaware know it.
Yours, &c, ID. VI. MCFARLAND.
The Ercy EreniHg correspondent, on the
other hand, insists that he is correct, and in
his letter of yesterday Tuesday, says Not
wlthStanding all this, however, the item under
consideration is, as | have heretofore stated
correct to all intents and purposes and Mr.
Mcfarland will, unless he goes back on
what he has reduced to writing, forecoSe
the mortgages he holds against Kent county
property provided he is allowed to invest in
Pennsylvania the amount these mortgages
represent at higher rate OF interest than the
laws Of Delaware legalze. Mr.. Mcfarland
when he stated that there is not one word of
truth in his my statement knew that he
was uttering falSchoOd If not, he is inca
pable of understanding the language he used
in the letter received here by his agent"
We leave our readers TO take either horn Of
the dilemma.

cier, Captain Potter, arrived here to-
day from the Arctic regions, having
on board several interesting relics Of
the Franklin expedition, procured

heavy silver spoons aud forks, having
upon them the armorial bearings of
the family orSir John Franklin and Of
other English families. They were
procured ut Repulse Bay from some
EsquimauX, who had come from King
Williams Land, near the spot where
Sir John Franklin's vessels were aban-
d0ned, in 1913. The natives say. that
both vessels (the Erebus and Terror
had gone 10 pieces. All traces of the
Inflated expedition arc being fast OBJ

The CENTENNiAL.-It is due to our
readers who have taken such lively
interest in tho Centennial work, that
they should know what progress
IL has made, and what its future is
likely TO be. According to the infor.
nation wo gather from Col. Fornev's
Press, the design for tao main exposi.
tion building, being that presented by
Messrs. Vaux & Radford of New
York, has been selected by tho build.
ing committee, which selection has
been approved and ratified by tho U.
s. Commission, and that accordingly
the necessary steps are now being
adopted to proceed TO the erection OF
the building.
The design so selected seems to
command general favor, for the rea-
son that il is purely American and not
in imitation OF any of the exposition
buildings heretofore erected in Europe,
and also because the cost will be mod.
crate, and its completion will be prac.
ticable long in advance of the time
when it will be needed; but above all
because its interior form is suited to
tho most perfect arrangement of the
exposition. The cost of this thirty
acre building is to be paid out of the
proceeds of the stock that has been
and is being subscribed, aud it is 10
belong to the stockholders, and when
the exhibition is over the materials
composing it arc to be sold, according
TO the act of Congress, and the pro.
ceeds, together with whatever fund
may remain Of the receipts over The
expenditures, are to bo divided pro
rata among the stockholders.
The design for the building in mem.
mory of the Declaration Of Indepen.
dcnce, which building is to be used by
U. S. Commissioners as an art build
ing, is now undergoing revision by
eminent Architects, and will be ready
for acceptance in few days. The
cost of this building is to be paid ou,
of the money already appropriated
by the councils of Philadelphia aud
Legislature of the State, conditioned
that it shall become the property o.
the State and city at the close of The
exhibition, and to be in full compensa
tion for the million and half to b.
invested therein.
Everything surrounding the Cen
tennial work is encouraging, save only
the influence of the financial panic
and we can say safely that nothing
has inspired more confidence than th,
ability that has marked everything
that has cmanated from tho genera
director, A. i. Gcshorn, showing t,
the satisfaction of all that he is tn,

OLD LAUDANUM.-lt is only q few
days since lovely child Of Sunbury
family was given few drops of old
laudanum, aud it went TO sleep never
to awake. On Sunday another like
case was made known TO US, only the
child happily recovered. On Satur-
day its parents, who reside in Shamo-
kin township, came TO visit some
friends here, where the child took di-
arrhoea badly. Among the remedies
applied was laudanum, which had
been very long time in the house,
from which the liquid had evaporated,
leaving it nothing less than concen-
trated opium, which proved so fatal in
the first mentioned case. We deem it
our duty TO warn parents against the
use of this old laudanum, and cite
these two recent cases for that pur-
pose. After it has been condensed by
long standing, no one can take II
with safety.-,Sunbury Daily.
