night we strangely omitted to men

give it here. About 10 o'clock, when
the disturbance was at its height and
the negroes were assembled in force
at the Market House Irandishing their
clubs and uttering oaths and threats
at the heads of all A call to arms was
made blythe whites sasscmbledon Front
street in front OF tho hotels. In
less than five minutes therefrom the
strcet was thronged with white men,
all heavily armed, many Of them with
eighteen shooters, and ready to fall
into line for charge on the negro
rioters. The ranks were abont to form
when the City Marshal passed down
the street with large body of police,
and the long -forbcaring white men
agreed 70 wait and give Them an
opportunity to disnerse the mob. This
they succeeded IN doing, when Col.
Roger Moore, one Of the Aldermen OF
the city, spoke to tie white citizens,
urging then to :,isperse ana promis-
ing them that ali OF the rioters who
could be identified, should be arrested
and punished 10 the tull extent Of the
LAW. Had that charge been made
down Front street, there wouid have
been bitter woe and iaEentatio1 i'll

PH1LApELpH1As CENTENNIAL JOB.

There seems to be some prospect that
the three million job put up by ring of
swindlers in Philadelphia will not win.
They first asked Congress to give its offic-
ial sanction to project for celebrating the
one hundredth anniversary of American
Independence, providing especially and
specifically that no appropriation of money
should be asked for in aid of the project,
This was at the last session of Congress.
Now the ring comes in and asks three
million of dollars and defends the impu-
dent steal on the ground that the United
States sanctioned the job and its honor re-
quires that they see that it is made sue
cess. just exactly what necessity there
exists for celebrating the one hundredth
anniversary of American independence
any more than the ninety ninth year, the
people do not clearly perceive. The truth
is that the whole thing is simply a steal,
gotten up to enable Philadelphia to have a
big fair and the ring to make some money.
The thing was up in the House of Rep
resentatives on Thursday and it was beat
On by 40 majority. During the debate Mr.
Dawes spoke against the bill as matter of
economy. He said not dollar of the pub
lie debt had been paid in the present fiscal
year, and that of the 500, 100000 which
the government is pledged to pay into the
sinking fund before the first of July, not a
dollar of it could be paid Before they ad-
journed, however, they reconsidered the
vote, with the understanding that the bill
should be recommitted. A motion was
made to table the bill as the only way to
kill it, but pending this motion the House
adjourned, and it will come up again to-
day. The leeches are hanging on for the
blood of the Treasury.

Advance in Frelghts,

The competing lines of railway from
Chicago to the East have advanced their
rates of transportation of freight 5 cents
per hundred pounds. This movement, fol-
lowing the opening of navigation, is out of
the line of all precedent but it is under
stood that it has been forced by the New
York x Erie and New York Central Rail
road Companies, which have lines of
steamers on the lakes, The rate by steam
on lakes and rail to New York is 322 c by
all rail IS cents. The advance has been
forced in order to drive freight to the lake
steamers owned by the two railroads men
toned. The connecting roads have no
choice but submission. As it is the steam
navigation to Buffalo, and thence by rail to
New York, is nearly as cheap as by steam
The power and force of combination is
shown in the further fact that the
Pennsylvania road which has no
steamers on the lakes, but is essential
ly an all-rail route owned by one cor
poration, extending from Chicago to New
York has had to submit to the advance
which is purely in the interest Of the other
routes. The revolution accomplished dur
ing the past season Of the continuous
transportation of grain at reasonable rates
from the West to the seabC ard during the
winter, cannot be reversed. If the rail
ways could move this grain from Deem
Der to May at low rates, they certainly can
DO the same work in the summer season,
and ought to be able to do it at much less
than winter rates Chicago Tribune It'll.

Temperance Meeting.

The mass temperance meeting at Darts
Hall Thursday evening was the first one
held and managed solely by the Woman's
Temperance Association. The two speak
ers of the evening were Mrs. Spaulding, of
Washington, Iowa, and the Rev. Mrs.
Spurlock, of Aledo. The first speaker is
the wife of a Methodist minister, is an
easy graceful talker, and spoke about an
hour and half. She went over much the
same ground as the speakers at former
meetings, though using more temperate
language and reasonable comparisons. Her
remarks were somewhat lengthy and as a
consequence the audience were not little
restiVe.
The second speaker was still more IA
tional and liberal in her remarks, and
seemed to be more disposed to entreaty
and moral suasion than coercion. Her
speech presented the unusual merit Of
brevity. She was one of the praying band
of Aledo.
MIR. Il. w. Spencer, assisted by several
young men, furnished music for the occa-
sion, assisted by Miss Mary Sargent at the
piano.
Miss s. B. Graves, a tall, fair-haired
young lady, one of our city teachers, read

marks, and the meeting adjourned.

DR., Webster, of Monmouth, would deliver
a temperance lecture on Friday evening Of

Good Walkists.

A bet Of $4,000 was made in the Union
Club, New York, that Mr.. James Whip
pie, Wall street lawyer, could beat any
man on walk of ten miles. James Cor
don Bennett, of the Herald, took the bet,
and the walk was to be from Benefits
house on Fifth Avenue to the gate Of Jer-
ome Park, 10 miles by measurement. The
walk took place on the 9th and Bennett
won by six minutes and five seconds. Ben
nett himself won $l2 900 on the match,
and it is said that $4,000 changed hands.
1t was rainy morning and portion of
the way the road was rather heavy. Ben
nett wore dark pantaloons, a striped shirt,
and was bareheaded. His shoes had been
worn to an easy stage Of shabbiness. Whip
pie wore a dark blue navy shirt over a
white one, dark pantaloons, silk cap, and
shoes much the same as his competitor s.
They started at in the morning, and great
pains were taken.t to have it private affair.
| On their arrival at the club house both
men we're put to bed as they stood. They
were kept in bed about fifteen minutes, and
then taken out and undressed and well
rubbed and put back to bed for another fif
teen minutes; after which they received
the congratulations OF their friends.
