inches, under the same conditions; while our
inch b. L. NJ. guns have a velocity Of
1868 feet, and penetration of Is inches at
100 yards. Some of the forts, it is true, evil
IDENTITY mounted rihed guns; but whether
smooth bored or rihed, they were of shorter
range and of considerable less energy than
the guns employed against them.

Almost every store in the country
has on its counter, a show case of DR.
Days medicines. BY glance at the
display, it will be seen that direct act.
ing remedies are offered for many every
day complaints, and as they are all the
results of study and experience, their
worth may be relied on.
DR.. Days Liver Pills are taken in a
different way from any other pill, and
only trial is needed to prove their
great superiority in all cases of liver
complaint and constipation.
Dr.. Days Cold Medicine has great
power over colds aud sore throat, and
persons subject to quinsy need not
have their tonsils break if they take
this remedy in time.
The show case contains number of
others, but special attention is called to
DR.. Days Cure for Piles, as having a
greater curative influence over the
parts implicated, than any other medi-
cine known.

The Now GoNernor,a Modestr.

HE PROPOSES TO HAVE AN INAUGURA.
TIoN THAT SHALL NOT COST THE
PEOPLE ONE DOLLAR.
The board of the officers Of the State
Fencibles' Battalion having offered
the services of the battalion to Gov.
ernor elect Pattison as escort from
Philadelphia to Harrisburg on the oc-
caslon of his Inauguration, he has
declined the offer in letter to Charles
Berger, adjutant and secretary of board
of officers, in the following letter;
Philadelphia, Nov. ls, 1882.
My DEAR SIR: L desire to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your letter advis-
ing me on the resolu ton unanimously
passed at a meeting of the board of of
ticers of the Slate Fencibles, battalion
rendering me the services of the bat
talon as an escort from my home to
Harrisburg on The occasion of the in
auguration of the Governor of the
Commonwealth in January next.
This letter is only one of many L am
daily receiving of similar import
from various organizations, both civil
and military. AS L was at one time a
member and president of your battal-
ion, it is not improper that L reject my
reply to your invitation as a method
of communicating my purpose as to
the Inauguration to all those organiz-
ations that have already addressed me
on the subject or might be likely to
take any action in the matter in the
future. For the personal compliment
intended to be bestowed upon me by
these friends L am sincerely grateful
but must decline to accept their kind
offers, for the reasons L am about to
state. have always entertained a
profound conviction that a simple
and undemonstrative inauguration of
public officers was most in accord with
the spirit of republican institutions
There is no reason that can see why
the mere taking of an oath by the
citizen called by the people to execute
a public trust should be made the oc-
casion for scenes of pageantry and
demonstration. To my mind the
solemnness of the act is marred by the
intrusion of such needless and inop-
perfume display. The sooner we re-
turn to simplicity and democratic
good sense in these matters the better
better for the people and better for
the officers. Besides, l am resolutely
determined that, so far as / can con-
troll the matter, smy Inauguration as
Governor shall not cost the people of
Pennsylvania one dollar. Why should
it? They derive no benefit from such
scenes and the money spent thereon
is wasted.
These are my reasons for declining
your kind offer. trust they may meet
your approval. OF course, the in
auguration is u public act and takes
place in the eye of the public. There
fore it is the right of such citizens as
desire to do so voluntarily and at their
own expense to be present at and
witness the ceremony. All such |
will be glad to see and meet ON that
occasion. More than that L do not
wish to inspire and cannot approve
Respectfully yours,
ROBERT E. PATTISON.

An Anti Cameron Senator.

THE MAN WHOM THE VOTERS OF THE
THIRTY-SIXTH SENATORIAL DIS
TRICT HAVE CHOSEN.
Bedford, Nov. 14.-The return
judges of the Thirty-sixth Senatorial
district met here to-day and issued the
certificate of election to j. H. Lon
geneker, whose official majority is 1853.
Although it has been well known in
the district ever since last Wednesday
morning that Longenecker was elected,
"A number of newspapers have contin-
ued to keep the name of his Demo-
cratic opponent on the list of senator's
elect. The vote in the district was as
follows: Longenecker, Republican,
7l52; Reynolds, Democrat, 6999;
Conley, independent, 556. -Four years
ago, Grof, Democrat, was elected by
622 majority. Mr.. Longenecller has
redeemed the district, notwithstand-
ing the Independent vote and the dis
sentions in the Republican party.
Probably no other man in the district
could have done this. Mr.. Longe-
necker is an anti-Cameron man, q
thorough Republican, and has always
favored purer methods in politics.

Nitro. .Glycerine's Force.

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF A CHEMI-
CAL WORKS BLOWN INTO FRAG-
MENTS.
Allentown, Nov. 19.-Notwithstand-
ing hundreds of people have been ell
gagged since Friday searching for the
remains of Horatio G. Welch, the
superintendent of the Cold Spring
Chemical Works, who was blown into
pieces by the explosion of the nitro
glycerine magazine, only few small
pieces have been found-not enough to
half fill cigar box. Among the
pieces are two small bits of skin and
flesh covered with hair, supposed to
be portions of the scalp. These are no
bigger than silver dollar. 1t is not
likely that more of Mr.. Welsh will be
found. The explosion was no doubt
the result of carelessness on the part
of Welsh, who it was observed did
not of late exercise that care which
the character of the business demands.
Nitro-glycerine freezes at temperature
of forty degrees, and it is the commonly
accepted belief that some of the frozen
oil having clogged the spigot Welch
used nail in opening passage for the
oil, and this no doubt caused the ex-
plosion. The trees in the immediate
vicinity of the works attest to the
great force of the detonation. Some
were uprooted and thrown many feet
away Others had their limbs shattered,
and some measuring sixto eight inches
in diameter were snapped off as though
they were mere twigs. Rocks, some
very heavy, were hurled in all direc-
tions, and it is surprising that no more
lives were lost or greater damages
caused to the other buildings. The
scenes of the explosion has been visited
by hundreds of people- Work at the
mandatory will probably be resumed
in a few days.

So when Mrs II. S. Ererline, then of
Allegheny City, Pa, had been sick
with Consumption for a very long
time, had been told by several Of the
best physicians Of that city that her
time was but for a few hours, that she
must die, and when the use of but one
bottle of Peruna in weeks time
placed her on her feet again and made
her the heartest eater of the family, all
the people around, as with one rejoic-
ing voice, exclaimed. "What won

Look Out for the Next Three Months /!

l-'' - Pui'J
In about three weeks the Forty
seventh Congress will meet to hold its
final session. In the regular order of
things, the House elected last week
does not come together for more than
year. The legislative body which
the people have just castigated con-
tinues in existence until March 4, 1888:
and it still has another years appropri-
ations to make.
Will the Forty-seventh Congress, in
its last hours, heed the voice of the
people? The demand for honest and
economical appropriations was en-
phatic enough, but it by no means
follows that the next session will be
distinguished for honesty and econ
omy.
We have nowhere seen notice of the
somewhat curious fact that lust a
majority of the present House failed to
be reelected. The present House con-
sists of 293 members. OF these l46
will sit in the next House, while l47
VIII turn their attention to other fields
of effort.
From the lst of December, therefore,
until the 4th of March, the control
of business in the lower branch of
Congress will be in the hands of u ma
jority made up of defeated Republicans
and Democrats, public servants on
whom the people have already served
notice to quit-whipped, disappoint-
ed, in some cases desperate men, who
have nothing further to lose politically
and everything to gain personally.
Experience has shown that there is
no more reckless jobber than the Con-
gresham whose successor is elected,
and whose public career awaits the
certain limit set by the almanac
and the clock.

Indiana's Total Vote.
OVER TWENTY THOUSAND REPUBLI-
CANS STAY-AT-HOMe.

OVER TWENTY THOUSAND REPUBLI-
CANS STAY-AT-HoMe.
Indianapolis, Nov. 1S.-The total
vote cast in Indiana at the late cleo
ton was as follows: For Secretary of
State, Hawn (Republican), 2l0, 1863;
Myers Oemocrat, 22O,97S; Leonord
(Greenbacker), 13, 129. The Democratic
plurality is 10,S09, and the party is
in minority of 1920 compared with
the vote of 1880. The Republican
vote has decreased 1895, the Demo-
cratic vote 4544, while the Greenback
vote has increased 143-a net decrease
on the total vote of 1886 as conf
pared with the vote on representatives
in the General Assembly. The total
majority in favor of submitting the
constitutional amendments to direct
vote of the people-the issue upon
which the Republicans and Green
hackers are in harmony-is 1862; yet
the Democrats have the control of
both Houses Of the Legislature, with
q JCiit Va nt
Greenbackers have but one member
a representative in the lower House.
1t is understood that Joseph S. Daily
will contest the seat of Major George
w. Stael, from the Eleventh district,
while the seat of Major Calkins, from
the Thirteenth district, will be con-
tested. There is also talk of Mr..
English contesting Mr.. Peel's election.
This talk all grows out of the
idea that a party in power will
pay no attention to small majority,
however honest; and it is expected
that Mr.. Calkins will have to go be-
cause of his action as chairman of the
committee on elections at the last
session. If contest should be pushed
in this district, the evidence would
