OBITUARY..
Death of wsll-known Railroad Contras

Death of y Well-knOwn Railroad Contractor
James McGOvern, brother of John X.
McGovern, Mannheim township, and of Pat
rick McGovern, all well-knOwn railroad
contractors, died yesterday about p. H.,
from complication of ailments from
which he has suffered for number Of
years. Deceased was al unmarried man,
Of about 81 years Ofage. He was born in
county Cavan, Ireland, and came to Amer
ica when young man. He has been ell
gagged on railroad work in all parts of the
country and helped to build the Lewistown
and Sunbury road. He went to Brazil ON
the ill-starred Collins expedition and lost
health and money in the venture. Re
turning to Lancaster, he suffered acutely
from rheumatism at intervals and was
much shattered in bodily health. Some
weeks ago, while staying at his sisters,
Mrs. Redman's, his left arm and leg were
paralyzed. For all that, his death ycstcr-
day was sudden and unexpected to his rel
atives and friends, who had left him al hour
previous in about his usual state Of health.
He will be buried at q. H., tomorrow
from the residence Of his sister, Mrs. Red
man, at the extreme upper end of North
Queen street; high mass at st. Mary's
church. Mr.. McGovern was ajovial, good
natured and Industrious man, who had
many friends and no enemies.

The Star Routes.

Senator Wallace has voted to strike
out of the postal appropriation bill the
provision inserted by the House, the
effect of which was to require the Star
routes, which are now let at an extrava-
giant rate, to bo readvertised in October :;
but giving the present holders the privil-
ege of continuing to hold them at GER
tain rate which the House thought to he
a fair and full compensation. This ar
rangement seemed to be the very essence
of fairness to the contractors and of jus-
tice to the government. It is charged
that these routes are now let
at a price much greater than the
service is worth. Whether or no this is
the fact would have been determined at
the future letting. The present contrac-
tors have no reason to complain since the
government has reserved the power to
annul the contracts with them. There
does not seem to he any good ground for
Senator Wallace's position in favor of
the contractors. He states none. There
is no reason why he should champion
them. Pennsylvania pays full part of
the expense of these Star routes and
get none of the benefits of them. They
serve the trans Mississippi country.
Whatever is necessary should be expend
ed to serve it well. We believe in widely

vention, and that said delegates and alter
nate be declared the choice of the conven-
ton.
This would have resulted in the choice
of Blaine delegates in several districts,
and opened the great contest before the
convention.
The motion was opposed by Senator
Logan in a speech of considerable length,
in which he advocated the right of the
majority of the convention to send to Chi
cago'a olid::delegation instructed for Grant.
The opposition hooted and hissed, but
the Senator proceeded with his remarks
and was vociferously applauded from time
to time as he cited precedents for the pro-
posed action of the Grant. men in the case
under consideration.
Gen. Hurlburt followed Senator Logan in
favor of the resolution, and warned the
convention that it was a dangerous expert
ment to take from the people of the dis
tricts their right of selecting their own
delegates.
Senator Logan moved the appointment
ola committee of one from each congress
sional district to report a list of delegates
to the national convention, four TO be se-
lected from the state at large and two
from each congressional district.
Great excitement followed. and num-
Der of delegates declared that they had
| already been selected by their districts as
delegates to the national convention, and
they intended to 60 there.
The discussion continued at great length
and the disorder finally became so great
that the convention could be considered
nothing less than mob.
At 12 o'clock indications were that
nothing could be accomplished last night
and there may be a serious bolt at any
moment.

Why He Wants Grant.


More than once Abraham Lincoln sat IN
the White House in Washington, watching
the progress of the effort to save the
American republic, as he held in his hand
the lightning pulsations that throbbe d
from the heart Of General Grant. Where
in those bitter days were the gentlemen
nation for the presidency? There is not
a private Union soldier working at his
trade as a mechanic, farmer, or a mer-
chant, that did not do more for his country
than James G.. Blaine, John Sherman,
Elihu Washburn, or George F. Edmunds :;
fifty times more, judged by the facts, than
any or all these politicians, each of them
trebled and quadrupled. Woe to the peo-
pie, malediction to the nation, that in SO
short space of time can forget such SER
vice as that of Grant, and prefer such soft
and easy apprenticeship as that Of contriv-
ing politicians.

mare on the track at McGram's park, she
became unmanageable, ran off. kicked the
buggy almost to pieces, and, leaving the
track, ran in among the trees at the upper
end of the park. To save himself, MIR.

rear of the buggy, but as he turned to do
so, the mare gave him a terrible kick in
the groin, completely disabling him, and
inflicting a dangerous wound. He was
picked up and taken to his home, No. 25
North Queen street, where DIR. J. o. Boyd

belong to Mr.. Houghton, but he was
speeding her with view of purchasing
her ; her owner representing her to be
perfectly gentle and able to trot inside of
three minutes.
