U. 5. Tobacco Joui nal:
The market opened very spiritedly.
The signs Of relaxation in the demand for
high prices ON the part of the packers of
70 Pennsylvania, which have been ap-
parent during several weeks past, took
very solid form this week and in conse-
quence heavy business vas transacted.
1t is significant that while 800 cases of
this crop changed hands, but 700 cases
were taken by cigar manufacturers the
bulk was taken by 'jObbers, who, at the
comparatively low figures at which they
obtained it, will no doubt do we'll with it,
The sudden desire to sell out now shown by
the packers is due to the enormously
large crop of 80 Pennsylvania at present
awaiting purchasers. There is not much
doubt that this crop will be bought very
low. While it is defective in many re-
spects, particularly as regards the presence
of numerous little holes in the leaf, it
promises, as a whole, to become . useful
and yielding material. When placed in
the market at low figures, it will be taken
hold Of by manufacturers, as we'll as ex-
porters, without much difficulty. Among
the sales of 20 Pennsylvania Of this week
is one consisting of 1000 cases, particu-
lars of which are given elsewhere. The
price has been kept private, but 16t and
II cents is reported to have been the fig
ure. Tho price Of another lot Of 1,5OO
cases that. was sold is also kopt strictly
private. The prices of the balance are
quoted at from 13 cents to not above 20
cents. .-.. 49,. ~. 81 49,.
In other 20 crops very little seemingly
was done. We say seemingly, rs no trans
actions Of any magnitude were reported.
Those that found publicity were sales in
small lots to manufacturers. Export re-
mains at standstill. We append a sum-
mary of the weeks sales, all of which
were of the 70 crop:
Pennsylvania, 800 cases, 13 to 20 cents
running.
COnnecticut-20O cases 13 cents for
seconds; Is to 20 cents running.
Ohio-1O4 cases, private terms market
quotations are to III cents.
State-SO cases (Big Flats) II cents.
Havana-Market quiet sales 400 bales ;
no change in prices.

Close of the Rafting Season.

The Marietta Times says: 'On Thursday
the last raft arrived in Marietta from up the

posit. One or two pine RATS sold as low
as fifteen cents, but the majority brought
twenty cents, and few, brought % cents.
HemlOck brought as high as eleven cents,
although ten cents was the ruling price,

There were also number of other RATS
more or less injured at different points.

THE grand jury which has just con-
cluded its labors finds a lack of CO. opera
tion between the prison keeper and un.
derstrappers to he a cause of some defici.
ency in the discipline and management
of our Lancaster county Jail, prison, pen.
itentiary, or whatever it claims to be
and is not. Under the present sys.
tenn the prison keeper is elected every
three years by the people and the subor-
dinates yearly by the inspectors. When
the bull ring has the keeper and under
keepers both they get along amicably
each helping to hide the others faults.
When the hog ring board elect hog ring
subordinates to bull ring keeper it
seems that the responsibility and ac-
countability are divided and it is difficult
to fix the blame for what everybody
seem. to concede is fragrant mismanage-
nerIt.
The grand jury did not find out, or at
les.. do ~. ii:glpse to the public, why
the manufacturing operations at the
prison are carried rII al 4 loss. We un-
derstand that they found the loss TO be
in the cigar making department.. The
other branches of industry can he carried
on prOfitably, but the temptations to
fraud and the dangers Of i'll exercise Of
judgment in purchasing raw materials
and keeping stock on hand in this branch
of industry are 50 great that it is only
carried on in the prison ut a loss.
The rather meagre information pre-
sented by the grand jury, and the chances
which the management of all our pub
lie institutions have to fix up" for
these quarterly visitations, strongly sug-
gests that such investigations can at
most be only superficial. What our

KILLING A DEAD HORsE.

Some OF tho Afterclsps of Politics
On Saturday afternoon before Alderman
McConOmy was heard the suit Of John B.
Warfel, publisher Of the Nsn Era, vs.. John
A. Boring, late Republican candidate for
mayor. tO recover $3.50 for printing and
advertising. 1t will be recOllected that a
fews days before the municipal election
the Nsr Era and Examiner printed for
midable list Of names Of sbusiness men,
who pledged themselves to vote for Boz
ing for mayor. For printing these names
the Ner Era charged Boring 80, which
that gentleman refuses to pay on the
ground that he never ordered the job nor
gave any one else authority to do SO.
For the plaintiff B. 5. Shindle. clerk in
the Nen Era Office, testified that tho list
Of names was taken to that Office by Harry
Ricksecker, who was acting as Boring's
clerk, and ordered the publication in Bor
irg's name. Mr.. Warfel testified to the
same effect. Alderman Spurrier, chair
man Of the Republican campaign commit
tee, testified that his committee had never
ordered the printing, OF assumed the debt,
or even solicited the business men, to
put their names to the circular endorsing
BORING. On cross-examinatiOn Alderman
Spurricr denied that he had ever received
from Mr.. Boring any funds for tho paw
ment OF said printing, or that he had ever
received from Mr.. Boring in person any
campaign contributions, for any purpose,
nor had he any personal knowledge that Mr..
Boring had made any contributions, though
he supposed he had done SD.
In defense Mr.. Boring testified that the
names Of the Boring "busincss men -
were gathered by ex-District Attorney
Johnson CITY Treasurer WelchanS and u
few other Of his personal friends acting in
conjunction with the campaign committee,
and that he (Mr. Boring) had distinctly
informed the committee that his personal
contribution was to be used toward paying
the printin. and that the committee had
misapplicd the funds to other purposes.
In answer to the question by Mr.. Warfel.
Mr.. Boring admitted that after his defeat
he had offered a note of $50 which he held
against Walter Kictfer, reporter Of the New
Era, in payment Of the bill, but this he
did, not because he was responsible for the
bill, but because he knew he would never
get anything from Kieffer anyhow.
There was good deal of "chinnins
between Boring and Spurrier, the former
being indignant ut the la:tcr's denial that
ne had contributed to the campaign, and
using severe language towards his ''prc-
tended friends; - while Spurrier responded
by saying that he had spent good deal Of
his own money during the canvass, that he
was sorry for it, and wished he had it
back again.
The alderman gave Judgment for plain
tiff for the full amount of tho bill and
costs, and the defendant gave notice that
he would appeal the case to court.
