court, it appeared that their counsel,
John I. Rogers, ESQ.,. put in a claim for
services of els, 900. This claim was resist
"a by Mr.. aillin and one or two other ex-
ecutors. 1t was shown to the satisfaction
of the court that this estate was singular
ly clear and nluncomplicated one. and the au-
ditins judge, speaking with reference to the
claim, said that the sum of 81, 900 would be
a generous compensation, and allowed a
counsel fee accordingly in that amount.
Mr.. Cahill gave, by his will, $50, 600 each
to two sisters, $1,000 each to each Of the
children of one of them, 81 900 each to
thirteen public charities, provided annu.
tiles for his wife, brother aud stepmother
to an aggregate Of $1,000, and then left
the balance Of the estate in trust for his
high school purposes. The legacies and
bequests have all been paid and the estate
now amounts to about 1925. 900

FUN IN THE HOUSE.
Lands Gets His BlIl Through.

Lands Gets His Bill Through.
Representative Lands, of this county
succeeded in having his bill passed finally
by the House at Harrisburg yesterday,
after lengthy speech by its author in
its favor. 1t is to prevent bribery and
fraud at nominating elections, nominating
conventions and at elections of delegates
to nominating conventions in the several
counties of this commonwealth. Here is
the Patriots report of the Greatest Effort
of our Manor statesman
Landis-" It makes the freeman's ballot
tell a lie, and turns the ballot box into a
lie factory" [Applause.] "Oh, Penn
sylvania - [Great applause. 81 do
hope"-[wild applause. " His hands
besmeared with blood" Applause.
Honor the blue waters of Lake Erie to
the singing eddies of the Schuylkill.' -
[Applause.l This was Landis' speech on
his bill to prevent frauds in primary elec-
tions. When the little Lancaster
statesman had shouted out his last
glowing sentence and sat down
there was perfect storm of ap-
plausc and :'bravos." Mr.. Furth then
asked the speaker whether his remarks did
not apply entirely to the "Hog" and
" Bull - rings in Lancaster county? Mr..
Lands said they did not. Mr.. Furth then
thanked him for exposing the frauds by
which the Republican party managed to
carry tho state, and Lands said he hoped
this would not be made party matter.
Mr.. Kncass then arose amid thunders of
applause and in some humorous remarks
flattered Mr.. Lands highly and advocated
the bill, hoping the Lancaster county
rings would be crushed out, and hoped
politics in that county would soon reach
the pure standard Of those in Philadelphia.
Tho House seemed to be in an uproariously
jocular mood and applauded Mr.. Kneass'
every word so that very little that he said
could he heard. In the midst Of the
speech Mr.. Souder raised wild shout of
laughter by gravely carrying the speaker
a glass of water. The House then good
humOredly passed the bill

among tie Republican rank and file, they
will be melted to give political burial
to all these unworthy men, and to search
for decent leaders. Probably they can
find them if they look long enough. We
know great many respectable Republi-
cans. We cannot disguise the fact,
however, that there are few honest ones
who are not too stupid or too lazy to act
as shepherds of the. flock. Stupid
ity, especially, is a notable char
acteristic of the Republican rank
and file in Lancaster county, and
this fact explains why it is that such
lot of ragamufins have got into the lead
of the party. 1t certainly cannot be
pleasant to the intelligent Republican
voter to know the character of the men
who control his party, as they are truly
depicted from the opposing sides in the
family quarrel that is now being bitterly
waged. His impulse must be to put them
all down and to set his foot upon their
necks. The decent element in the Re-
publican party has the power to control
it by its numbers. Is there not some
one to he found who will lead them out
of the desert They would do we'll not
to nominate for office a single man OF
those named, but, rejecting them all as
unfit, confer the places upon more mod.
est men who have not sought them.

WHAT 10 Thought of the Senatorial Rcsig-

WHAT 10 Thought of the Senatorial Rcsig.
| nations.
An Albany special to the New York
Express says it is believed by some state
senators that the statutes do not give the
Legislature power to fill expirations OF
vacancies for the offices except on the
"second Tuesday after the meeting and
organization of the Legislature" The
statute certainly reads this way, and it is
interpreted to mean that the successors of
the two senators cannot be appointed till
the 10th day of January, 1882.
The opinion is growing that the Senate
will refuse to 60 into an election of United
States senators, and will leave the choice
to the next Legislature. Some of tho SEN
ators say they think the question as to
whether the resigning senators should he
returned and their conduct approved is
one that tho people should have the op.
portunity to pass upon.
The administration members of the Leg-
islature arc unit in their determination
to vote for no man who is not known to
be in cordial sympathy with the admins
ton and they will, under no circumstances,
vote for any man who has antagO-
nized General Garfield, or has avowed his
purpose to dosO.
The Republican general committee has
chosen Hon. Andrew s. Draper as presi-
dent. Resolutions endorsing the action
of Messrs. Conkling and Platt were unan.
imously adopted, and copies ordered to be
sent to President Garfield. It is reported
that Assemblymen Congden, Sheldon and
Fenner have come out against Conkling.
The Buffalo Commercial Adoertiser of TO-
DAY states upon authority that Hon.
Richard Crowley will not under any cir.
cumstances be candidate for United
States senator, and thinks that under the
both Messrs. Conkling and
Platt should be unanimously reelected |

islature.

Yesterdays Disastrous Fire In Nashville
The fire which broke out in Nashville
yesterday was the most disastrous in that
place for many years. Beginning at ten
o'clock in the oil and paint establishment
of Warren Brothers, corner of College and
Church streets, it spread rapidly north,
east and west until thirty-four buildings
were consumed. The now marble front
Noel block, on Church street, of eight
three story Buildings, including the
beautiful new Office Of the Wes-
tern Union telegraph company
with all its valuable equipments, is
in ruins The fire in this directiOn-west
swept across an alley, destroying two
old buildings, occupied as restaurant and
club room, and with great difficulty the
Maxwell house and the intervening block
was saved. On the opposite side of the
same street the wholesale liquor houses of
Ryan & Ryan, and Pierce, Hopkins l.
Lawrence, adjoining the american office,
were DESTROYED, together with the smaller
buildings. The roof and corn
ice of the american building were partially
burned, but the main damage to the build-'
ing and its contents was from water on
the machinery, paper and newspaper files.
Sweeping east along Church street the
ire destroyed Deckel's wholesale liquor
house and the warehouse of Cherry, O'Con
nor & Co., and several smaller buildings.
Moving north along College street To fur
,iture houses of Philip Snyder and Atwell
Z Snecd and mattress and china store,
he adjoining buildings on the west side of
College street, occupied as q storage

mailer buildings, were destroyed. The |
loss is near half a million of dol |
ars. The insurance does not exceed $500,
