In concluding this final report the COM
missioners deem it fitting to record:
First-Their thanks to every member
of the United States Government, in
Guiding our representatives. in Congress,
with whom they have been brought into
contact, for their earnest efforts to forward
the completion of the work by every
means in their power. Among these gen.
tlemen, Gen. A. FL. Terry, commanding the
Department of Dakota, and Major Chas.
J. Allen, of the United States Topographic

having immediate oversight of the work,
stand of course, pre-eminent.
Second-Their appreciation Of the SER
vices of all who have been in their en-
ploy, either, as in the case Of Messrs
Sewall and Gano, as their Immediate Off
GERS, or, as in the case of Messrs. Steele g.
Mcintyre, and Fl E. Horton g. Co, as
contractors, under their supervision.
Third-Thelr pleasure that the min
utes OF the commission testify in most
marked manner to the unanilnity with
which it has acted upon all questions
connected with the work under its charge,
and
Finally-Their conviction that they
have given to Ramsey county at cost of
$l35, 600 magnificent structure of stone
and iron together with connecting
roads, without which it would be
robbed of half its value; that
they have herein economically, faithfully,
honestly and efficiently perfo rmed the
duty laid upon them by the statutes ap-
pointing them, and have thus helped to
make it incumbent upon your honorable
body to foster the trade of the Fort,
whose usefulness as a pepulous army de-
partment headquarters the erection of
the bridge has made possible and to cul.

A GRAVE SITUATION.

What is Apprehended by Fearful Deno-
ChambersburS Valley Spirit, Dem.
Indeed to us the situation of the De-
mOcracy seems grave one. Educated
to oppose the machine" and long and
earnestly battling for that purpose it is
natural for the Democrats if they decide
to interfere at all to stand with the boilers.
Let us suppose this should ::be done. The
committees arc in the hands Of the friends
of Oliver. Thei: report Oh apportion-
ment, embittered by the signal defeat of
their favoIite, would not be such as the
Democrats could accept. Its amendment
would be necessary and this could be OBJ
tanned by the union of the Democrats and
boilers. Its passage secured it would go
to the governor for his approval. In
closest sympathy with the friends of Oil
politiccl potter, Gov. HOyt would certainly
with the wishes of the men who surround
and direct him. The apportionment bill
would fall Just now at Washington the
appOrtionmcnt bill introduced by the Hor.
S. $. Cox is in great favor and is likely to
be adopted. 1t allows 3O1 congressman,
of which our state would be entitled to
twcnty-six,. one less than ut present.
Should the present appOrtiOnment stand
our state representation would remain the
same or be increased, but in the event Of
the passage Of Mr. Cox's bill our repre-
sentation would be reduced. The old ap-
portiOnment of the state standing. one
district would be DISTINGUISHED. To avoid
this it would be necessary, to afford any
representation. to elect twcnty-six men,
berS-at- large. 1t takes 10 prophet to tell
the result of sLch an arrangement. The
Democratic party in Pennsylvania would
be left without q: single congressional
representative and it's power would be
shattered, if not completely broken, in
state and nation for term of years.
Taking the contrary side we sec that 4
fair apportionmcnt gained in this state
might give us control Of the national
House of Representatives, and thus mould
legislation in national affairs, giving great
aid to our party and being of vast benefit
to the people.
There are 10 individuals, nor no fac
tions, to be benefited by any arrangement
which, may be entered into. The party
alone profits by it and the party; good
alone is secured. But whatever is to be
done, il anything, we trust may be done
speedily. The Legislature has other busi-
ness besides that of chosing e senator.
But it will not proceed far in this until the
senator be elected. The sky will be no
clearer for Democratic work u week or q
fortnight hence than now. 4 bold and
Immediate stroke, one that will cut further
open the cash in the Republican party and
make no wounds i'll our own, seems to be
demanded by many and if the stroke is
made by all hands and in harmony the
party will approve it.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIBEt.



This morning Track Walker Richard
Mccarthy found a dead body lying on the
Pennsylvania Railroad near Mill creek
water station, which proved to be that of
Brakeman VIM. B. Poorman, Il resident
of Middlet0wn. The head of the unfor-
tunatc man was terribly crushed and dis
severed from the body. Both legs were
cut off near the ankle and one arm was
also cut off. The body was brought so
Lancaster on the construction train and
removed to the undertaking establishment
of Widmyer & Ricksccker. Coroner Mish-
ler was notified and cmpanei'ed the fol-
lowing named jurors to hold all inquest :
Jacob Stauffer, 7. J. Buch. John Carpcn-
ter, G. W. Keene. VIM. Hauck and Levi
H. Longencckcr. DIR. Compton acted as
coroner's physician.
The body was viewed by the jury and
the evidence Of Richards McC Carthy, who
found the body, was heard. The jury rem
dered verdict Of accidental death. Il is
supposed that POorman while Oh duty
made misstep OF lost his hold and fell.
There is report tha: blood marks were
discovered all the way from Parkesburg to
the spot where the body was found, which
induces some to suppose that the untortu-
nate man may have been fallen or been
hurt near Parkesburg and clung to the
train until near the point at which the
body was found.
Mr.. POorman was q man OF apparently
90 years of age His body after being cof-
fined will be sent to Miia,ctown for hur-
ial.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Before Judge Livingston.

BENJAMIN D. Meyer VS.. Henry Netf,
The plaintiffs testimony closed yesterday
afternoon and the defense then opened
They first offered grant from VIM. Penn
to Jacob Miller, formerly of Switzerland.
of 1000 acres Of land, part of which were
the farms of defendant and plaintiff. The
several transfers were recited and it was
shown that in April, 1874, Mr.. Neff pur-
chased the farm and mill which he ROW
occupies from Jacob Hildebrand.
Mr.. Hildebrand is surveyor and resides
in the borough of Strasburg. He testified
that in 1871. at which time he was the
trustee for David Brackbill, freshet
washed away part Of the dam at the mil!
now occupied by the defendant, aud he re-
built it as far as the means of the estate
and the material would allow. In 1873 it
was again partly carried away by the ice.
In 1874 Mr.. Netf purchased the property
and he repaired the dam breast, in sub
stantial manner, to its present height,
which from the observation of the
witness, had not raised the water in the
level between the two mills to a greater
height than it was in 1871 and prior. The
Pcquca creek is sluggish stream on all the
levels except al a point about three quar-
ters of a mile east of Neff mill, where the
course of water is narrowed from s. or 80
feet to 35 feet, by sand bar, which ex-
tends from the south bank, for about so
feet out into the creek. This sand bar
has been greatly enlarged during the
past five years by earth, which
is washed into the creek from
a stream, which drains about $50 acres
of cultivated land above, and emptics
itself into the creek; at the point where
tue small stream enters the larger one.
the water from the former turns up
stream, to round the eastern point of the
sand bar, and this with the obstruction
made by the sand bar, creates dead or back
water in the creek and tail race of Meyers
mill, and makes the race higher than the
water i'm the creek and on the north side
of the sand bar. The witness felt certain
that the mill dam of Mr.. Neff had not
been raised, as the fall in the pen stock was
four feet one inch high in 1871 and it was
the same when witness examined it this
week. Witness did not think Meyers mill
had lost much power, although he never
took any particular notice of it before 1871;
he believed that if the sand bar was not il
the creek at the tail race, there would be
10 back water III it.
The defendant and number Of wit
nesses were called to corrObcratc Mr.. Hill
dcbrand, for the purpose of proving the al
legations of tie defense, viz, that the dam
has not been raised to a greater height, by
the defendant. than it originally was that
Mr.. Neff's dam does not cause the dead
water in Mr.. Meyers tail race but that it
is made by the sand bar and run which are
between tho two mills and that the power
of Mr.. Meyers mill has not been reduced
by this back nearly as much rs tes-
titled TO by the plaintiff. The defense had
not closed their testimony when court ad-
.iourncd and they will not likely finish
today.

THE HOYTs' RECEPTION.

n brilliant Social Event IN Harrisburg.
The first public reception given by Gov
ernor and Mrs. Hoyt in two years attracted
the society Of the capital seat, as we'll as
many guests from other localities last
night. The most elaborate arrangements
had been made for the event. The floral
decorations were in charge Of Philadel-
phia artist, and the displny of both cut
and natural flowers was the finest ever
seen at the executive mansion, aud excited
and most unqualified praise from those
present. From eight until ten o'clock there
was almost q constant stream of arrivals,
which included the bon ton society OF
Harrisburg, members of the state govern.
ment and Legislature, and invited guests
from abroad. The governor and wife re
ceived' in the south reception parlOr. and
were assisted by Attorney General and
Mrs. Palmer. Both ladies were similarly
attired i'll black silk velvet, EN- train and
point lace. The governor dispensed the
favors OF host III the cordial but dignified
style for which he is noted, and seconded
by his wife, instantly removed all feeling
of restraint. Miss Maud Hoyt, the
daughter of the governor. was dressed
in pure white silk, with point lace, and
together with Miss DOwd, relative from
New York, contributed largely to the en-
joyability of the occasion. Among the
more prominent guests were a party from
Wilkesbarre. including Mr.. Charles Par
rish and wife, Mr.. William L. Conyng-
ham AMI wife, and Mrs. Stanley Wood
ward. There were also present Miss
Burns, of Pittsburgh Mr.. Hugh Has
ting, jr., Of New York, and the follow
ing members Of the governors staff Ad-
utant GeneRl Latta. Colonel Hancock

Among: the Senatorial "dark horses cir-
culating through the rooms were Hon. VIM.

ance on the part of both senator's and rep
