WASHINGTON, May 2l.-At a meeting this
afternoon of the Spanish-American Claims
Commission, Count Lowenhaupt rendered a
decision in the case of Jose NJ. Macias, a nat
uralized citizen of the United States, who
claimed from the Spanish government dam
ages 10 the amount of 5000, 900 principal and
interest, tor losses caused by The seizure of
his plantation near Mantanaz, in 1869. HIS
United States citizenship was admitted. as
were the general facts OF the case, the planta-
ton having been seized under a ~misapprehen-
sion as. to its ownership. The arbitrators
having failed to agree upon the amount the
case was submitted TO al umpire, who rem
dered his decision to-day, awarding the claim
ant the principal and interest, amounting to
1925 00.
The letter Of Duralt upon the naturaliza-
ton question, raised in a former decision,
will be submitted to Count Lowenhaupt

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Many Of the sem
ators are preparing to leave Washington, and
lo-morrow's train will carry AVA a crowd OF
disappointed otfice-seekels, who have been
lingering here since the fourth of March in
the hope of receiving what they call a proper
recognition for their services in the last Cain
paign. 1t is worthy of mention that the
GOrham .Riddleberger contest, over which 50
much noise was made during the early days
of the session, was not even referred to aft er
the senate took up the legitimate work of the
session. Gorham and Rlddieberger not only |
failed to secure the places for which they |
were nominated, but it is likely that az the
next session they will be ignored by the re-
publican caucus, and that other persons will
be famed tor secretary and sergeant:at-arms.
ST. LOUIS, May 21.-The track of the Tex
as u Pacific Railway will reach Big Springs,
1924 miles west OF Dallas, to morrow night,
and trains will commence running 10 that
point at once. Big Springs has a prospect of
the principal new town on the road, as
the company have determined to erect a large
inachlue shop and cattle pens there instead of
Colorado Springs, as at tiTst designed. The.
track laying is progressing at the rate of two

DELAYED DISPATCHES.

DUBLIN, May 21.-TIle Government has
taken a bold step in arresting a Catholic
priest. This morning Rev. Father Sheehy,
a parish priest of KiilmallOck, was taken in
custody under the coercion act, on The charge
of assembling with others and unlawfully at
tempting by threats and menaces to compel
divers of Her Majesty's subjects to quit their
lawful employment of the aforesaid by an act
calculated to interfere with the maintenance
of law and order. Along with Father Sheehy
were arrested Henry Gilbertson, aactioneer
and farmer, John Collins, farmer, and Michael
Mccarthy, tarmer. All are members of the
local Land League, not only in Limerick,
but throughout the whole south of Ireland,
Father Sheehy has taken a leading part in the
land agitation. He was always a bold and
popular leader. He attended the land con-
ferences at Dublin and took a main part in
the debates. C~ondemning the land bill four
years ago he gained notoriety by kissing the
Queen at a banquet given by Mr.. Parnell
down the Shannon, and since the passage of
the coercion act he has frequently challenged
the government to arrest him. On the .oc-
casion of Miss Parnell's visit to Killmallock
Father Sheehy, by some pointed remarks,
precipitated popular outbreak and a dan
gerous demonstration.

George Eliot's RomOla.

A timely interest is given, by the death of
the author, to the new edition of her MASTER
piece, "Romola," just issued by the American
Book Exchange, New York. 1t shows her
work at its best and strongest, and at the same
time gives the reader the opportunity to acquire
q lasting familiarity with the scenes and soci-
ETY. of medieval Italy. 1t is one of the few
really great historical novels of the world. It
is issued in handy and beautiful form, extra
cloth binding, simple but rare elegance and
taste in design, and like the other issues of
the Literary Revolution" its cost is almost
nominal, viz: 35 cents. 1t is one of a series
intended to form library of classic fiction,
which will include one representative and
characteristic work of each OF the great authors
who have won lasting fame in the realm of
fiction. Life is too short and too full of work
to permit the reading of all that is beautiful
and valuable in these creations of the imagina-
tion, but even~very busy people can find time
to read one book by each of the score of
authors who have won immortal fame and
place in the affections of the people. Not to
be acquainted with them is to be ignorant of
much that is important and most interesting
in the history of nations and of men. Not to
possess them is to be deprived of most fruitful
and profitable sources of enjoyment. Among
those issued or nearly ready are, Scott's "Ivan-
hoe" Bulwer's "Pompeii." lrving's "Knick-
erbocker," Cooper's "Mohicans," }" "Tom Brown
at Rugby" Adventures of Don Quixote'' and
"Uarda," Romance of Ancient Egypt"

II is just ten years ago since Chas. S.
Segelbaum of the Mammoth Dry Goods
House, of Harrisburg, conceived the
idea that Harrisburg and Central Penn
sylvania should have first class dry
goods house. We are glad to say that
the people of Harrisburg and central
Pennsylvania are very grateful in hay
ing such pleasant first class house to
supply their wants. The building is
centrally located directly opposite the
court house, on corner, has splendid
light, is four stories high, with very high
ceilings 'and is elegantly fitted up. You
will find there about 400 feet of Dry
Goods, Notions, Cloths, Cassimeres,
Shawls, Dolmans, Goats, Lace Curtins,

pleasure to those that visit Harrisburg
to stop in and look through this i'm

Smith, Esq. Jacob Boggs had rented
property of John d. Carberry who re-
fusing to accept the two names first
brought as bail Though either name was
good security was finally given bond
signed by over forty persons. Boggs
failed to pay and suit was brought
against all the bondsmen for the bill
and costs, the total being about $25.
Over twenty of them appeared and as
judgment was against them an assess
ment of little over dollar each was
made and the judgment satisfied. Con-
siderable feeling existed against Carberry
for his course in the matter and some
hard language was indulged In. 1t
would seem to be poor investment to
pay lawyer S5 to collect bill of $5.07

Fearful Accident from COasting.-The
Miffiintown Democrat and Register
says On Tuesday morning Herman, a
twelve year-old son of John Howe, of
this place met with fearful accident
He went to the hills northwest of town,
and was coasting on the crust of the
snow-in that dangerous manner that
so many of our boys will persist in doing
by laying down on the sled and running
head foremost. He was thrown from
the sled, his forehead and face striking
the strong, heavy and sharp crust of the
snow. His forehead was laid open to
bone for six or more inches, besides
some four or five other large and deep
gashes in his head and face. Before be-
ing dressed his face and head presented
a frightful appearance, the cash in it
remaining open for the space of an inch
or more down to the bone. He seems at
this writing to be doing well.

Lucky Farmer.-As John G.. Unger,
u farmer of Lower Paxton township,
was walking down Market street at noon
yesterday, he was Joined by two men
who after some conversation took occa-
sion to remark that they were joint
owners of lottery from which the use
of little money was sure to extract
very large sum. Mr.. Unger, as willing
as most people are to walk into fortune
consented to investigate this easy road
to wealth and went with the men to
room over Edwards saloon, in the post
office building. Here he was shown
table covered with maps and other por-
tentous looking papers and instructed to
draw a bit of pasteboard form box con-
tanning quantity of numbered slips
He did so and was surprised as well as
delighted to be told that he had drawn
the 81 900 prize. The money would be
his upon the payment of $500. Mr.. I'm
ger readily agreed to pay the money and
accompanied by one of the alleged lot
terry dealers went to bank to procure
the amount. He incidentally told the
cashier the use he proposed to make of
the sum, and when that suspicious Of
fetal made some pertinent inquiries the
farmers companion suddenly had bust
ness in another locality. The farmer
and the cashier returned to the lottery
room and found the other man. The
cashier after refusing to try his luck at
drawing from the wonderful box, en-
lightened the farmer upon the character
of the game and started for the police
When he returned with the officers of
the law the room was vacant and no
clue to the swindlers has as yet been OBJ
tanned. They had hired the room for
two days, representing themselves to the
proprietor rs book agents. s.-Patriot Of

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
The wife of Mr.. John Enck, residing
in Silver Spring township, near Hick-
orytown fell dead on Tuesday morning.
The cause was supposed to be heart
disease. This sad event has cast gloom
over the entire neighborhood. The
bereaved family have the sympathy of
the entire community.
About nine O'Clock, on Sunday morn
ing, whilst Mrs. Wilson Lamison, who
resides at Sharpley's Row, West North
street, was engaged in dressing her
youngest daughter, the little child fell
dead in its sisters arms. DIR. Hem
minger was Immediately summoned but
the vital spark had fled almost instantly.
The child was fifteen months old, and
just beginning to walk and prattle.
On Wednesday afternoon, while the
last rites were being paid to the body of
Jacob Myers, at Spring Hill Cemetery,
a constable served warrant on one of
the persons in attendance at the funeral.
This valiant officer of the law halls from
Chambersburg, and his name is Hutton.
AS matter OF course, all was confusion
at the grave, and the party arrested
started OIL with the officer to the nearest

was only then known that this cute
Chambersburg constable had been acting
without authority, having neglected to
have his warrant endorsed. There was
no occasion for the arrest at the time
and place, for the young man against
whom the accusation was made, had no
notion of leaving for parts unknown
until at least after the fnneral cortege
had left the cemetery grounds.

still Another Sudden Death. - On
Wednesday last, death occurred at the
sale of the personal property of the es-
tate of Robert Orr, deceased, in Saville
township. Mr.. Andrew Kell,of Tyrone
twp, was present apparently in good
health. Near the close of the sale he
went into the house and took up chair
which he moved to sit down in, when
he suddenly fell over, insensible. He
was at once given aid, but he did not re-
cover his consciousness and in few
minutes his heart ceased to beat. His
body was moved to the residence of his
son, Peter, with whom he resided. Mr..
Kell was well-known and highly re-
spected citizen, and was aged 72 years.

near death from the effects of coal gas
on Monday night of last week. A
neighbor noticing that no one was astir

couple insensible from the gas. Fresh
air and other means were at once used
for their recovery which proved success

proved fatal.

1.-THE Mlllerstown Bridge. pplication
has been made to the Court to have this
bridge taken by the Commissioners and
made free bridge under the act of May
8, 1875, p. l.. 1871. I'm accordance with
this application Viewers were appointed
who made the following curious report:
"Upon coming together on the 23d of Dec,
1880, we unanimously agree that the time Is
not quite come for the county take said bridge,
for the following reasons, viz;
The bridge is In good order and paying the
stockholders nicely, and they are, with a small
exception, satisfied, and the people who arc
directly interested In said bridge, do not feel
that they are oppressed, because they have
always borne the burden of toll willingly, a
small minority excepted, therefore, we believe
the movement to be a little premature"
This report does not seem to answer
the requirements of the appointment
No one supposed that any of the stock
holders were not satisfied, and the law
was not intended for their relief There
fore we are at a loss to know why the
viewers should say that the stockhold-
ers with small exceptions are satisfied"
for no one supposes they wanted a
change. But why the "small excep-
ton" should be unhappy with stock
paying 22i per cent, las was shown to
be the case) is what puzzles us. Per-
haps they fear the state may claim the
earnings in excess of six per cent on the
stock which amount is we think all the
bridge can legally collect in tolls with
out paying the excess to the State. The
papers in the case have not been acted
upon by the court, and it is probably the
question will be kept before the people,
for while yet. The day has gone by
when travel should be impeded by toll
gates and toll bridges in passing from
one place to another in the same State,
and where such obstacles to travel are
tolerated, the tolls should be kept at the
lowest possible point, as it is evident
that the six per proviso in the law
meant they should be.

A Young Lady ShOt.-On Saturday last
a young lady, named Wright aged about

was accidentally shot by a man named
John Buchanan. Mr.. Buchanan fired
rifle at dog, and did not see the lady
when he fired the gun. The bullet en-
tered under her arm and out at the

is not thought dangerous, and the lady
is getting along as well as could be
expected.
