What President GOwon Boldly Charges.

In the course of the hearing regarding inter

on commerce yesterday, Mr.. F. B. Gowen,
president of the Reading railroad COM
pany, suggested that there would be diff
Guilty in enforcing i'll Pennsylvania any law
against discriminating corporations, and
said ''There is to-day no remedy certain
and effective enough for the removal of the
evil"
Mr.. McLane-Under the statutes of
Pennsylvania?
Mr. Gowen-Yes, sir. Another difficulty
one of which We should speak with great
hesitancy, for do not care about washing
the dirty linen of Pennsylvania in public at
all-is that the parties interested i'll this
monopoly have such control over the
politics of Pennsylvania that you must
change the heart of the people you must
send some missionaries among them and
endeavor to extirpate the evil at its root.
Mr. O'Neill You do not mean to say
that there are certain parties in PennsyI.
vania who are controlling the judges of the
supreme court of Pennsylvania-judges Sc
lccted and elected by the people, su-
preme court composed of sterling men :?
That men such as those can be controlled
improperly or induced to prejudice any
proceedings before them by delay Or other
means?
Mr.. GOwen-Do you know, Mr.. O'Neill,
what the fox told the lion when he asked
him if his breath smelled badly
Mr.. O'Neill-No, sir.
Mr.. Gowen-He said he had bad cold
and could not smell.
Mr.. O'Neill-Very well. All that want
to say is, that repel any imputation upon
the character of the state of Pennsylvania
or of its judicial officers.
Mr.. Gowen-The imputation comes from
my friends, not for me.
Mr.. O'Neill-No, sir. My dear sir, you
are insinuating improper things in regard
to the ijudiciary-in connection with the
proceedings of which you have spoken
and you have been speaking slightingly
of them in intimating that those proceed

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
..ENCHANTNiENT."

"A Packed House and u Good Play.
Last evening the great spectacular play
entitled "a Tale of Enchantment'' was
produced in the opera house by a troupe
under the management of the Kiralfys.
The play was first produced at Niblo's
Garden, in New York, where it ran for
several months to the largest business ever
known there. 1t was then taken to BOs-
ton and Philadelphia, and it is now in its
third week at the Walnut street theatre,
Philadelphia. The company which was
here last night has been made up for the
smaller towns and it includes nearly all of
the members of John T. Ford's opera
troupe It is managed by one of Kifalfy
Brothers, and for the last two weeks has
been in Washington and Baltimore.
The play is similar to "Black Crook y
and others of the kind, and depends for its
popularity upon it's dazzling effects, sc.
1t is piece to amuse as we'll as excite the
interest of an audience. The leading
characters, with the exception of one,
were taken by Mr.. Ford's company.
Robert L. Downing personated Phul La-
cinge, the hero of the piece, in a highly
artistic manner, being a pleasing actor. ].
F. Peters played DR.. I0rtanius, the al
chemist, to perfection, and in the first act
he signs all agreement on the top of the
mountain with Pluto, using to do so a pen of
fire. Geo. Denham, who is a capital come
dian, was admirably suited to the charac-
ter of Gdspard, the servant Of the alchcm-
ist. Miss Belle Mackenzie looked charm
ing, and acted we'll the character of M,r-
garite. The remaining members of the
company were first-class.
Long before o'clock last evening a
crowd of men and boys gathered in front
of the opera house and when the doors
were opened they poured in and filled up
the gallery in a short time. Nearly all of
the seats down stairs had been sold, and
those that were not were occupied by the
crowd in all incredibly short time. Before
the performance began the house was
packed from the footlights to the top of
the gallery, and standing room could
scarcely be obtained.
The ballet was led by Mile De Rosa,
who is acknowledged to be one of the best
dancers in the world, and her graceful step
ping was one of the features of the evening.
The ballet troupe was composed of about
twenty graceful girls and their drilling,
marching and dancing were remarkably
fine. There was dancing of all kinds and
it closed with grand Amazonian march,
in which the ladies appeared in glittering
armor. Miss Marie Bockel looked beauti-
full as Azurine, the queen of the fairies.
In the third act the specialties of the
variety people were introduced, the three
Ulm sisters appearing first and singing a
number of German songs in fine style.

A Lucky Lot.
Philadelphia Times.

TnlIiluCIphll i1nCS.
The Republicans of fLancaster county are
lucky lot. If the rules of the party had
been carried out they would have been put
to the trouble of voting on the election of
delegates to the state convention, but the
county committee, knowing how much
trouble that actually is, did away with all
of it and named the delegates itself. OF
course no member of the party will be Gu
rious enough to ask why the rules were not
carried out.

A resolution slipped through the Lancas-

struct the delegates to the national conven-
ton at Chicago at the primary election in
May, the voters to indicate their choice for
the presidency for the guidance of the del
egates. This was a Blaine move, but it
will prove unavaiIing. as it is in the power
of the chairman of the county committee
to postpone the primary election until too
late to have any influence at Chicago.
