THE LAST SESSION.

Senator, is there anything that you sug.

The tariff commission was created for the
Express purpose of preventing tariff refirm.

of the South is baled, 100 per cent.
The Democrats in the Senale determined |

a WASHINGTON dispatch to the Bos-
ton Herald has the following to say Of
the foreman of the star route jury :
dickson himself is sort of claim
agent here, and two or three years ago
he was involved ina scandalous attempt
to bribe some of the clerks in the Office
of the District Government. Several
clerks with whom he had established
connections we're discharged aad bis
business was broken up. Congress had
compelled the District Government t.
repay large amount of special assess
mepts that had been collected, and
Dickson was an agent to cnllect the
claims. The clerks we're discharged
for COLLISION in passing improper claims.
It will, therefore be seen that he IS ne
strangerto the business Of bribery. z

An Ex.PoIioamnn skips.

On Saturday night last James Ryan,
an ex policeman on Mayor Almonds
force, together with Tony Powers, Will
son Finny and Daniel Mcbride, raised
row with some colored men in South
Wilmington and beat two Of them very
badly. Warrants were issued for the
arrest OF the parties when Daniel
Mcbride was captured and suffered the
penalty of the law. The other three
men kept dark until Tuesday, when
the officers succeeded in finding James
Ryan and summoned him to appear be-
fore the Mayor that evening as they
did not want to take him from bis
work. Ryan took advantage of this
liberality on the part of the officers and
failed to appear on the night In ques-
tiun The officers went after him
again bus did not succeed in finding
him. On Wednesday evening he made
his appearance, but as the witnesses
we're net present the Mayor Continued
the case until Thursday evening, when
Ryan promised to be on hand and he
was permitted to depart without giving
bail When the hour arrived for the
usual hearings Ryan failed to respond
to his name and officers were at once
detailed to hunt him up, but when
they arrived at his house they found
the bird had flown together with all
his household effects and he had gone
to parts unknown. From inquiries It
was ascertained that he had moved
his family to Chester. The other two
mon have also skipped and while the
law is cheated of its victims it Is to be
hoped that Wilmington IL rid Of three

Clerk of the market Hickey Is over
run with truckers and dealers In the
market to have the dry measures
stamped. He Is going through with
the operation aS fast as he possibly can
but owing to 30 many of the measures
being too small he makes but slow pro-
aress.
Abont tsn out ~ dozen meas
ures are too small and require a great
deal of scooping out with chisels to
make them large enough. When too
large which but seldom happens there is
not so much difficulty in pairing down
the rim until the measure reaches the
lawful capacity.
The few half and quarter peck meas
ures that have been regulated and test.
ed for the hucksters have created quite
stir along the market, and old meas
ures are rapidly disappearing from the
market. The majority of the half and
luAlter peck measures that will bt
brought before clerk Hickey will bt
new ones as a great many will be
ashamed to take their old ones before
him to be tested.
The old quart measures used during
the Summer will never appear before
the ClOrk. AS soon as the rush will
the dry measures get over Mr.. Hickey
will commence on the weights and
scales.

McHugh and Johr August had hear
ing before the Mayor on the charge of
commi tting an assault and battery on

Tended by Harry Sharpley, Esq. The

while fighting there, John McHugh
appeared on the scene and jumped on
Griffin. On the ensuing Saturday Au-
gust and Griffin had fight on Heald

READING, September, IA The most
imposing demonstration ever he'd by
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
was the parade in this city to-day.
Every section of the State was repre-
sented either by lodges or visitors who
are interested in the order. Every
train was completely packed. -Four
extra trains from Philadelphia brought
several thousand passengers. There
was a general suspension Cf business,
and many houses were gaily decorated
with flags and evergreens.
All the visiting lodges were met at
the depot by committee and escorted
to MnnnerChor Hall, where a banquet
was served at ten o'clock. The parade
moved about two o'clock, headed by a
platoon of policemen, John p. Nichol-
son, Grand Marshal of the Grand
Lodge of Pennsylvania, and aids and
Chief Marshal Charles B. Wells and
aids. There we're about 5000 men in
full regalia in lire. They presented a
grand appearance. There we're fifty
Ave lodges present from different parts
of the State. Nearly every lodge was
accompanied by band, Richard
Hubers, the oldest Odd Fellow in the
United States, also participated in the
parade. After the street parade pic
mic was held at Lauer's Park. The
visitors left on special trains at late
hour.

Reeulat1ug tne Measures.

Clerk of the Market Hickey has been
very busy for the past few days regu'
lating half peck measures. The greater
number of those presented to him have
been found to be too small, while few
others were discovered to be too large.
The measures after being adjusted, are
stamped in four places, viz, on each end
of the slaves, and each side of the bot
tom. This is done to prevent dishonest
dealers from saving Of the ends of the
slaves or inserting false bottoms, There
is q good Joke told about prominent
dealer in this city, who bought four
halt peck measures to be inspected.
There is not the slightest doubt OF the
mans honesty. or his desire to deal fair
and Just with his customers, and while
he was aiting for his turn, there were
a great many half peckS presented that
did not come up to the standard, and
he, incensed at what appeared to him
as a dishonest act, remarked, mo won
der that men can buy brick houses,
when they sell with such measures as
these" After while his turn came,
and when the clerk tried his measures
they were all found too small, and one
or two actually smaller than those he
had 80 vigorously denounced. AS this
gentleman has bought a number OF
brick houses since has been In the pro-
duce business, the laugh was turned on
him. 1t is almost needless to add that
the Old measures we're by him imme'
diate turned into kindling wood and
new ones substituted in their stead.
Next week the clerk thinks he will
be ready to inspect the quart measures
and as the law affixes penalty fol
using an unstamped weight or measure
in the market, IL will be well for those
interested to attend to the matter with
out delay.
