Representatives, at Washington, in conf

"Mr. Garfield: desire to call the at

points which have u bearing Oh this subject,
and to give the reason why hope we will

DEATH ON THE DEEP,

The Loss ct the -Alpena Oh Lake Michigan
The excitement and suspense in Chicago
which for three days have been hourly in
creasng respecting the fate Of the Al pena,
changed to profound sorrow on the part
of those whose friends were known or be-
! licved to be on board, when yesterdays
news not only failed to report her safety,
but announced the certainty of her de-
struction. The offices OF Goodrich,
have been filled with mourn
ful faces. 1t is not deemed posi-
bic that any one can have been saved from
the wreck. Had raft been made it could
hardly have lived five minutes amid the
fierce beating of the waves, and none pro
badly, will ever tell the story of the wreck.
NcSselmen believe she struck 4 rock some
where off the east shore and went to pieces
some distance from the beech. There is
much complaint of the laxity Of the COM
pany in having no list of passengers. The
list sent from Grand Haven is, of course,
only partial. The crew was thirty strong.
1t is stated that when the vessel left Musk
egOn she had seventy passengers and at
Grand Haven she took five, mostly women.
Mr.. Goodrich, however, thinks the pas
sensers did not exceed twenty-five or per-
hapS twenty in number.
Portions of the wreck continue to float
into Holland, Mich, the harbor, but 10
bodies have dri(tcd in. \ boat of the AL
pena was found near Saugatuck. Rumor
says y Mr.. Lyons, of Ventura, found a
bottle containing list Of the passengers
aud crew of the Alpena, but the story
lacks confirmation. The body identified
last night that of Mrs. Bradley, of Santa
Fc, is now believed to be that of an un-
known woman.
Dispatches to the Goodrich line state
that another body was washed ashore near
Holland, Michigan, but was carried out to
sea by the undcrtow before it could be Sc
cured. The agents fully identify the
wreckase as being from the Alpena. No
intelligence has been received OF the
American which was out in the
storm.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


Yesterday Mcssrs. Henry Vol, William
BALI, Martin Seiplc and Charles Beck
shouldered their guns and took the war
path in search Of tho festive rabbit, of
which they succeeded in ba.ginS fifty
five in addition to = quantity OF other
game, the execution being done in the
neighborhood ofQuaryvilic. The sports
men returned last evening in high feather
over their good luck, and Mr.. Wolf exhib-
tied with special pride the boss bunny of
tho lot shot by himself. It was an enor-
nous specimen of jack rabbit, measuring
twenty-four inches from the tip Of his nose
to tip Of tail, and with ears that for size
can only be adequately described as elm
mcnse." 1t was evidently descendant of
the pair of large German harcs imported
a year ago by Mr.. William Roelm, late of
the Schiller house, this city, but Row of
Quarryville, and the extensive progeny of
which Mr.. Roehm recently set ut liberty.
Mr.. Wolf describes his prize as 4 Hancock

railroad, near Spring Mill station, on
Tuesday, has died.
F. A. Palmer, residing ut Belmont sta :

train while coupling cars and was run
over and instantly killed. The body was
taken to his residence.
After deliterating for 4 day and night,
Z. S. Watson, Il. p. Rynder, of Altoona,
and one or two others nominated Samuel
Calvin. Of IIollidaysburg. for supreme iudg
on the Grecnback ticket, in place of +. p.
Devices, resigned. The members of the
state committee were slow in responding
to the call of Chairman Watson, and the
grave duty Of making the nomination de
volved upon the gentlemen named above.
Hon. James Mossrove, Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Twcnty-tifth
district, was assaulted at FoNburg yester-
day by his opponent, General Harry White.
1t appears the latter made al assertion
which MOsgrove told him was not true
and that lie had the unhappy faculty Of
frequently making assertions Of the same
kind. This stirred the generals ire and
lie retaliated by striking Musgrove. BY
standers interfered, but not before Mr..
Mosgrovc got in 4 wcll-,lirected blow in
return.

Yours in relation to the Chinese

l take it that the question of employees
is only a question of private and corporate
economy, and individuals or companies
have the right to buy labor where they
can get it cheapest.
We have a treaty with the Chinese .,,u.-
ernment, which should bc rcligously kept
until its provisions are abrosated by the
action of the general government, and |
am not prepared to say that it should be
abrO.ated until our great manufacture ny
interests are conserved in the matter OF
labor. Very truly yours.
