The removal by the President at
the eleventh hour of a number of
government officials known to be
active sympathizers with the Star
Route gang produced a sensation
in Washington where the parties
are well known. Some of these
removals have long been demand
eddy the press and by public SEN
timcnt. And it is only too evident
from the tardiness Of executive ac-
ton that the President did not re-
move them until he was compelled
by public sentiment to do so. The
Attorney Generals letter to the
President recommending the dis
charge of Spencer, Helm, Henry,
and others reads like a stump

A Denial.

Mr.. Charles Fisher, the late superin-
tendant of the small. pox hospital called
at this office this morning to deny that
he was drunk when he was arrested
last Friday niqht. He says that he is
badly ruptured, and on The night in
question he felt very bad, and BAT down
at the corner OF Front and Tatnall
streets. He had not been sitting long,
before he became very sleepy and laid
down.
The officer came along and not-with-
standing his protestations, took him to
the hall. Mr.. Fisher complains bitter
ly of the treatment he has received
since his services were no longer re-
quired. He says that it is impossible
tor him to get work in this city while
he resides at the old hospital and 1t is
equally impossible for him to rent a
house, as no one seems willing to al
low him to bring his goods into their
property. He has tried to remove them
from the city, but as soon as the goods
we're discovered to belong to him they
we're sent back to the hospital. He is
a carriage builder by trade, aud Is anx-
ious to obtain employment to support
his family, as he said this morning
that he did not own 50 in the world. He
says that If he had the means, and
copld get away from this city he gould
get work, and something should be
done to assist him.

Valuable Horse stolen.

A valuable mare was stolen at an
early hour this morning, from a man
who resides about two and half miles
from Kennett Square, on the main road
leading from this city. The animal was
left in field last night, and at II
o'clock the owner was up and 1t was
still there, but was gone at 8 O'clock
tuis morning. He Immediately started
in pursuit and Tracked it to this city,
and it is supposed now to be concealed
somewhere in the suburbs. The par.
ties that stole it were in a wagon, and
must have placed q halter on and fas-
tened it to the back of the vehicle. The
mare was between 8 and 9 years old,
with two white hind feet, and one white
fore foot. She has no mark on her face,
and is q little lame in her left hind
foot, having been kicked by another
horse short time ago. The owner re-.
Gently hadan offer of $500 for her, and be
now offers large reward for the appre-
hension and conviction of the thieves
and the return of the animal.

On The Fly.


Pursuant to adjournment City Coup-
Gil met at 4 o'clock on Saturday, after.
noon at Ninth aud Harrison streets,
to view the grade of that street between
Eighth and Ninth. The grade is eleV.
en- feet, and Joseph l. Carpenter asked
Council to have it changed. After
viewing the ground 1t was decided to
construct knuckle about halt way be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets, so as
to make the grade at that part eight
feet.
Council then went to Fourth street,
and viewed the sewer at Taylor's mo.
rocco factory, which they found in a
very bad condition. The opinion OF
the members seemed to he that the
sewer would need rebuilding all the
way across the street. The matter was
finally disposed of by referring it to
the street Q oommittee.
The next place visited was Pleasant
street between Adams and jackson,
where nuisance was complained OF.
1t was decided to compel the property
owners to place gutter on Pleasant
street, between Adams and jackson, to
allow the water to pass off.
The fourth meeting was held at tne
foot of Madison street, which the r:
W. & B. r. R. Company had petltioneed
to have extended to the railroad. lt
was found that it would be necessary 10
put in a sewer TO carry off the water,
which Council decided to do, and also

The natural charms Of September at
the seashore, tne enjoyment OF which
the public is deprived Of by the prac-
tice Of the keepers OF the large hotels,
who hastily close up with the first rush,
which usually takes place at the end Of
August, are not only to be at the con-
venience of the public this month
through means of frequent trains to
and from Philadelphia, but are to be
enhanced by a great musical festival
similar to hut greater than that recent
ly held at Cape May, and under the
same management. September, as all
know who have visited the seaside
during that month, is the the finest OF
the twelve; the bathing Is better than
in August, the weather Is delightful,
and 1t is only wonder that managers
of hotels have not long ago appreciated
the facCSthat many sojourners leave the
ocean resorts more from custom than q
desire to depart when everything there.
at is most enjoyable. 1t is decidedly q
new departure, and one which will be
remunerative TO the hotels and business
people of Atlantic to continue the sea-
son far into September.
The United States Hotel, the largest
at Atlantic City, has determined rot to
close for several weeks, and has given
the use of the lawn for the musical en-
tertainment, which occurs on the 9Th

are to be brilliant y illuminated an

ment, which is great, viii be met by

business people and citizens generally
The detailed programme is not yet
fully arranged, but will be duly an

termination of the management to
avoid a division of locality, as was the
case at Cape May, by centralizinR the

OF the success of the enterprise there
can certainly be no question.

The action of the District meeting OF
the Amalgamated Association in Pitts
burg, to-day, is awaited with great
interest by all parties. At a caucus Of
a number of the lodges held yesterday,
it was decided to propose, in the Dis
trict meeting to compromise wit the
manufacturers on basis of $5.75 per
ton for pudding and the signing OF the
scale. Last years scale was $3.50, and
the strike has been for So. A promi-
nent mem Der of the Amalgamated AS
sociation said that, should the mann
facturers reject the compromise, the
strike was to be continued indefinitely.
He AIDED that careful canvass showed
that if the strikers refused to 60 to
work, only 450 members from eleven
different lodges would secede, and that
"wou1d not be enough to hurt" them.
The manufacturers who had intended
starting with nonunion men to-day
