STATE ITEMS.

While ont hunting Sheriff William
son, of Liverpool, Perry county, accidentally
discharged his gun and the load entered
his right knee. The leg was amputated.
II. J. G. Walker, of Williamsport, was
nominated for congressman yesterday on
the 221st ballot, by the Republican con-
vention of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania
district.
General Aibright's will leaves lcgacics of
$500 cash to three relatives and the use of
tic estate to his widow during her life, and
the reversion 1T her death to Dickinson
college to educate poor young men with
out regard to race or color. Should the
college make 4 color distinction the bequest
becomes null.
The old mill, known as the Gwin's mill,
at Holmesburg, Oh the Pennypack creek,
at the foot OF Mill street. which has been
in active operation since 1907, was burned
on Tuesday night. 1t was owned by George
Pennock and leased by Donovan & Miller
as y grist mill. Thus Holmcsburg loses
one hcrmost interesting landmarks. having
been the first building erected in that vi
cinity.
Some sixteen indictments had been
found against liquor dealers of Mercer
county mostly in Sharon, for selling to
minors and men of Incorporate habits.
Thes, indictments were all quashed by
the court, because tho names OF the min
ors and men of incorporate habits were
not set forth in the information on which
the defendants had been arrested.
The body of man found near Vermil-
ion, Dakotah, last Monday, rid'l!ed with
Indian bullets, is believed to be that of
George Leslie, of Hartford, Pennsylvania,
a small tOwh sixteen miles east Of Carbon
dale. Leaving home at tho age of sixteen,
he went to sea, where he remained several
years. In 1867 he returned to his family
at Hartford Six months later he went
West into Dakotah, and has since that
time lived among the Indians.

Intimidation OF Voters.


We receive many letters asserting tina t
the employees OF prominent manufacturers
and capitalists arc threatened with dis
charge unless they vote for the Rcpubli-
can candidate. n dozen eases, aside from
those OF the Rutland marble quarrics, are
cited in Vermont. In Maine Il score or
cropping out in Connecticut, New York
and New Jersey. The United States
statutes protect voters III the exercise of
their rights of suffrage, thus:
"SEC. .506. Every person who, by any
unlawful means, hindcrs. delays, prevents,
or obstructs, or combines and confederates
with others to hinder, delay, prevent, or
obstruct any citizen from doing any act
required to bc done to qualify him to vote
or from voting at any, election in any state,
territory, district, county, city. parish,
township, school district. municipality, or
other territor;ol subdivision, shall be fined
not less than $500, or he imprisoned not
less than one month nor more than one
year, or be punished by both such fine and
imprisonment.
"Sec. j,5O1. Every person who pre-
vents, hinders, controls OF intimitlates an
other from exercising or in exercising the
right of suffrage, to whom the right is
guaranteed by the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution of the United States, by
means of bribery or threats dcpriving such
person of employment or occupation, or OF
cjcctins such person from rented house,
lands, or other property, or by threats OF
refusing to renew leases or contracts for
labor, or by threats Of violence to himself
or family, shall be punished as provided in
the preceding section"
The law is explicit. Employees cannot
be intimidated without n violation Of its
provisions. In Syracuse the Democrats
have appointed q committee to bring all
offenders before the United States courts.
The streets are to be posted with large
handbills giving the provisions of the law
and offering liberal rewards for testimony
that will convict its violators, and that
will give redress to those thrown out of
employment for adherence to their political
convictions. The example should be FOL-
lowed by Democratic committees in the
manufacturing towns Of New England,
the Middle states, the West and Nevada.

ity this morpins, Bishop Lee, of Delaware,
presiding.
Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania, read
the annual reports OF the missionary bish-
ops of Shanghai.
Bishop Lee, in the absence of Bishop
Riley, of Mexico (now on his way to the
convcntion), gave an encouraging report
of the progress of the work of the church
in that country. Statistics Of the work il,

One bishop. two bishops-elect, two other
presbyters, 81 organized congregations,
$500 regular members, 1000 attendants

The following resolution was placed on

Resolced, That in tic judgment Of this
general convention, sitting as a board of
missions Of the Protestant Episcopal
church, the time has come to endow the
episcopate of each missionary jurisdiction
with an endowment fund at least of twen-

Tony Denier's Feat.

Tony Denicr, the we'll known clown and
manager, has been distinguishing himself
rs i hero. a few days ago fire occurred
in the hotel at Winona, Minnesota, where
he and his company were. One of the
ladies of the company has a young baby.
She started out of her room in terror and
fell. Mr.. Denicr, who stepped from his
room into the hall, saw her and carried
her down stairs. She revived from the
swoon on reaching the outer air, and be-
gan screaming for her child. Mr.. Denier
turned back into the building, through
dense smoke, and explored his way to the
LADY, S room: He took the child and start
ed down stairs, but was driven back by
the flames. He ran to the window,
shouted to those below to ''look out, |"
and turned 4 forward somersault from the
window ledge. Happily he landed on his
feet and escaped injury, his experience as
a clown proving valuable. She child was
given to it's mother, and then the people
swarmed about Tony, several men lifting
him upon their shoulders, and he was
borne to a saloon, where wine was liber-
ally poured out in his honor. The CON-
pany lost nothing, and modest Tony
gained considerable.

The Rebel Flag RumOr.

At q meeting of the Democratic club at
Oxford, OH Saturday last, the undersigned
were appointed 4 committee to make ill.,
quiry in regard to the article published in
the west Chester papers, stating that a
rebel flag or flags have been publicly dis
played at the residence of Mr. Dowson on
the afternoon and evening of the Demo-
cratic meeting on Wednesday last. We
have carefully investigated the charge and
find it utterly untrue and entirely without
foundation. We have interviewed intelli-
gent and unprejudiccd Republicans who
hearing the report repaired that afternoon
and evening to Mr.. Dowson's premises and
carefully examined his flag decorations be-
fore and at the time the procession was
passing and they unhesitatingly assure us
that 10 disloyal emblem or rebel flag or
flags were displayed on his property.
As an evidence Of Mr.. Dowson's loyalty
for many years passed he has in his poses
sion an honorable discharge from service
in the United States navy from December
eth, 1866, to February 5th, 1870.

A millionaire pn,l>n&ho,,.,

=
Mr.. Corcoran's residence in Washington
is not only the finest in that city, hut
would be accounted palatial in any city in
Europe. One of its principal apartments
(perhaps its most striking) is the library
"a large, square room that seems cut out
OF oak, Gothic in style, and elaborately
carved. The mantel, mirror frame, and
bookcases are fine specimens of carved
work richly inlaid with malschite. The
books, about four thousand volumes, are
very valuable. Above the door which leads
to the dining-rOOm hangs a portrait
Of George Peabody by . distinguish
ed artist. to which Mr.. Corcoran is greatly
attached. The relations of these great
philanthropists were Of the most intimate
character for sixty-five years, and Mr.. Cor
coran has hundreds of letters from his old
friend. Indeed, the letters in Mr.. Corcor-
ans library are of the greatest interest.
There may be seen friendly letters from
many of the great characters Of Europe

Kendall; Father Richie, Fillmore, Tyler,

He was consulted by both parties in Con-
gress in regard to financial questions, and
Mr.. Webster seemed to have great respect
for his opinions. Among his letters are
many from business men of rather re-
markable character. After Mr.. Corcoran
was we'll started in business in Georgetown
he failed, with heavy liabilities. The failure
was not duo to any lack Of business sa-
gacity or foresight on his part (being due
wholly to other suspensions), but he was
forced to compromise with his creditors,
paying them fifty cents on the dollar.
Many years afterward he paid the entire

carry it. The Republican bankers and
manufacturers were freely bled and
the mighty power of their dollars
was used for all they were worth. The
schism in the Republican party caused
by the disappointment Of Grants friends
at Chicago was healed by the bargain
made at Mentor, and the party men,
