THE FRA I'D ULENT PRESIDENT ID E.
STRO YLNG HIS PARTY

II1E fIcA W ULELNI' PRESIDENT DE-
STROYLNG HIS PARTY.
From the New York Times.
WATERFOWL, July 14.-There is no rse
in tying to conceal 20 fact that the Re-
publican party Of New York is to-day dis
organized anu divlded. For some tune past
it has been generally understood III )litcal
circles that such was the case, but an ex-
tended tip through the central. western,
and northern p 'rtion Of the Stite, aud
numer, US conversations with several of the
best known ana most highly honored Re-
publican leaders, convinces Inc that the dis
organic ition and dissatisfaction is much
more general and widespread than is sup
posed, even by those most thoroughly in
formed and best qualified to judge. The
recent order OF the President, intended to
"keep Federal officers out of politics." may
be in strict accordance with the hest prin-
cIples of thorough civil service reform,
and may in the large cities win to the sup
po.c OF the Administration u large class of
The independent business commun ty but
In the country districts among the hard
working, honest, earnest Republican voters /:
it has as yet produced nothing bu: disor-
ganizatiOn and dissatisfat ton. 1t is not
an easy b ng TO overthrow a man who Tor
years has been the political leader of coun-
tvy village. Small commulit are always
conservative aud opposed to radical or vio-
lent changes. The Republicans OF the in
terror OF this State have always held the
representatives of the United Safes Gov
ernment in high esteem. They have every
ress IN to do SO, for, with but few exceptions,
tue men no hold the Offices referred to
are honest, consciei tious public servants.
Many OF tuem, particularly those who are
in charge of tue small po t stations and
other minor offices, have lived in the same
commun ty for a hi.t me thy have been
political leaders in tn e mmuniti' and it
is, perhaps, only natural that their friends
and neighbors should jpIn with them in :
nounciug the Presidents order as an unjust
and unnecessary interference with Jheir
rights as American ciuz ms.

A NEW lMPRovEMENT.-The 2. W. &
B. r. r. Company are erecting across
their tracks, just below Lombard street, a
new improvement in the shape of a coal
feeder, for the purpose of loading the To-
comotives with coal, thereby Obviating
the necessity of wheeling it into the ten
der by wheelbarrows. The improvement
consists of four heavy piles, which will
support two heavy cross pieces on which
there will be laid crack, for the purpose
of running the cars from the coal house,
which will be on the lower side of the
road. The cars will be provided with a
bottom that will open and shut, and when
they are run out upon the tracks, shute
worked by lever, will be let down to
the tender, by which means they will be
supplied with coal. BY this means To-
cOmotive can be loaded in about miDu-
tes. The company are also erecting
trestle work in their yard, where the
coal for their supply will be dumped.
COOP SUGGEsTIoN.-An exchange Of
fers the following suggestion, which will
apply to almost any locality: "Why does
MT some enlerprising fellow set up as a
lawn mower? There are families in the
village who have little lawns which they
would like to keep trimmed, but hardly
think it worth while to buy machine
for so small plot. A ''handy'' chap
with mower, sickle and little enter
prise might drive good business in car
ing for such by the season."
OVERCOME BY THE HEAT Yesterday
afternoon. Jchn Fitchett, col'd, a work
man engaged in the wheel house of the
Lobdell Car Wheel Co, was overcome
by the heat. He was carried to his home
on Walnut street between Fifth and
Sixth, and medical aid summoned. This
morning, although still very weak from
the effects of the heat, he is doing as well
as can be expected under the circumstan-
ces.
SHIPMENTs.-The shipments over the
Delaware r R., yesterday consisted of
259 crates and 35 baskets of peaches, and
car loads of berries. The shipments OF
