Arrangements have been made with
hotels and some of the railroads ter.
minating in Philadelphia for reduc-
ton of fare. In most cases it will be
best for delegations to arrange for rates

A local committee of Reception has
been appointed, to whom are confided
all matters pertaining to the reception
and accommodation OF the members
and delegates ofthe Society. The chair
man is Hon. J. e. Mitchell, 80 York

Al the last meeting OF the Society il
was decided in future to encourage gen
eral exhibitions of fruits, rs well as new
varieties of novelties. Iii earnestly
requested that no duplicates appear in
any collection, and that none but choice
specimens shall be placed on exhibition.
Exhibitors should not fail to give no
tice as far as possible, at an early date,
what room will be needed for their
fruits. SIX specimens of a variety will
be sufficient except in fruits Of unusual
interest. A limited number of Wilder
Medals will be awarded to objects OF
special merit.
Packages of fruit should be addressed
to Thomas A. Andrews, Horticultural

The Treasury Ring and Secretary
Folvpr

WASHINGTON, April 30-Repeated
and serious charges have been made
against ]. G. Hill, Supervising Arch
itect Of the Treasury, without hereto
fore attracting the attention they deser-
we'd TO do. Judge Folger has appointed
= commission of three officers OF his
department to make an open inyesti-
CATION of these charges, and to report
their conclusions to him.
1t is doubtful il this mode of inquiry
viii attain the desired object, or satisfy
the public mind, because the commits
sion is without power to compel the
attendance of witnesses or to admins
ter oaths regularly.
Mr.. Hill 10 not trained architect.
He was drughtsman in the Office
when appointed to his present position
as the successor ofthe lllustrious Null
lett. The belief has long existed that
the office has been corruptly conduc-
ted. The Treasury investigation show
ed that Mr.. Hill and his assistant had
not only rendered professional services
to Mr.. Scherman, to Mr.. Blaine, and
to other favorites at the public expense,
been largely Incorporated for their
beaefir.
The Treasury Ring as it was orginiz-
ed under honest John Sherman still
subsists without material change. His
chief managers are holding RESPONSE
BILE and confidential places under Mr..
Folger, and the only victims of the in
vestigation that caused so much scan
dial, were few white and colored cub
oidinates who told the truth inconven-
isntly for Mr.. Sherman and his friends
A necessary consequence Of this an
omalous condition of things in the
Treasury is distrust on the part of the
Secretary for = portion of his official
staff, on whom he ought to rely for aid
in routine duties. Honce the business
OF the department has been postponed
and has accumulated imm ensely on
account of the desire OF Mr.. Foyer to

The Eat and West.

Miss Ell. A. GILES speaks thus glow
ingly OF the west in 81 recent number
OF the Minnesota Tribune.
Tho birds that fly from the far West
are all birds OF promise-"hirds with
anguriss on their wings" For aught
we know that may be chanting o. even
grsnder days than these, 30 full of work
for the many. wealth for not a few and
Wh, lesome ambition for all. For be-
hind the vast state OF Minnesota which
10 fitted to sustain and enrich sll its
cities, lies still richer and grander
West, full of undeveloped resources
and eager to furnish new forces of
strength for its inexhausttble supply of
power.
The line of densrcation between
THE EAST AND THE WEST
is becoming less prerequisite every
year. Does this mean that sometime
we shall have no 'fsr Vest? 1t can
not, for behind this glorious West of
ours there is still another West always
in reserve, if needed, SIS an insPirs-
tion--the real sunset land. No; we
shall never be without West, we who
so love itx history and its promise.
When civilization has colored the map
of the whole country and one mellow

hence, the spirit must needs be re-
freshed by the Reckoning clouds Of

The Hill Investigation.

The Hill investigation is not going
to be disposed ofas soon as was expect
ed. Several branches of the case have
not yet been touched upon, and the
commission new fear it will be winter
before their labor ends. John C.. New,
chairman, is heartily tired ofthe affair
and he takes no pains to disguise the
fact. When certain papers were in
troduced he was asked under what
specification they came in "Oh,n
said New, with yawn, general
cussedness, | suppose. ."Mr. Wilbur,
of the counsel for the prosecution,
asked if he thought Hill would resign.
His reply was "Perhaps he won't
have chance to resign" There dre
frequent tilts between counsel and
indications of bad blood all around.
Colonel Eman got an opportunity to
call Hill a liar one day last week. He
availed himself of it with great
alacrity. There was sensation. Hill
bit his lips until blood came, but said
nothing. Neither of them is fighter
in the dueling sense of the word.

Frightened to Death.

DAvILLE, ILL.,, July 20,-A singular
case of death, by fright, occurred here
Wednesday night. John Seplien,
aged 45 years, a miner in the employ
of the Ellsworth Coal company at
shaft No. 2, was mining yesterday
afternoon at five o'clock, when sew
eral tons of slate fell within few
inches of the diseased. He was at
once prostrated with fright, but in a
short time recovered sufficiently to
walk home, a distance of three miles.
He retired complaining ofhis extreme
fright, and within thirty minutes be-
came unconscious. He fingered until
ten o'clock, when he expired
Physicians say death was caused from
fright. The deceased leaves wife
and seven children.

tee his expenses he can produce man
who will swear that Frank James was
not present at the Winston train rob-
berry, aud consequently did not kill
Conductor Westfall, for the killing of
whom James will be tried soon.

describe the man who shot Westfall,
as he was on the train at that time,
and knows James very well. The
witness, whom Hooper does not
mention, is living out west, but will
come gladly when provisions are

the Country.
A prominent business house of this
city has just received information
from their agents at Apia, Samoa, of
devastating hurricanewhich occurred
at that place on March "a. The storm
came on suddenly shortly before mid
night, and continued for three hours
with unabated fury. Trees were torn
up by the roots and the air was filled
with flying leaves and branches. The
heavily-fruited cocoanut and banana
trees were bent and twisted up like
saplings. The bread-fruit trees and
orange groves were most completely
destroyed. The little harbOr, so
beautiful in calm weather, was lashed
into sea of foam. 1t was almost
impossible to distinguish objects
through the rack across the harbor,
though it is but half mile wide.
The terror-stricken white residents of
the town remained indoors, and only
a few of the most daring We ltured to
90 out into the storm. Had there been
place of security, none could have
taken advantage of it, for the sudden
ness and intensity prevented any at
tempt at change of position. There
was nothing to do but to hold on and
wait for the storm to subside. Those
who could distinguish the shipping in
the harbor saw barks and schooners
crushing together, cables swapping like
cords, and dismantled craft thrown
upon the shores completely wrecked.
There was an unusul number of vessels
in the harbor, and all save one were
lost. This lucky craft was small
schooner, and five anchors were
necessary to hold her in position with
head to the storm.-San Francisco

THE NEWS.
The Troubled Mexico.

The state department has not yet
received any official account of the
assault upon acting consul Shaw, at
Monterey. From private sources it is
learned, however, that the attack
was most brutal and unprovoked. A
Galveston dispatch says: For some
time past La Revista, the leading
newspaper of Monterey, has been quite
incorporate in its language regardin g
Americans and American Enterprise
in Mexico. and it is just possible that
growing out of this has been famed
flame resulting in the outrage reported
There is bad feeling i'll Mexico beyond
doubt. The late affair at Busta-
mente was a mere cropping out of
what is a deep seated sentiment i'll
Mexico, held in check only by a
limited number of the population. A
former resident of San Antonio, who
had been ranching near Monterey, but
who sold out and has just returned,
says that the land and water are good
and the place admirable for ranching
but uuless the ranchmen is collected
with Mexican families he is robbed by
the wholesale. Americans are re-
garded as intruder. A gentleman
well informed on Mexican affairs eX-
presses the opinion that while it is a
difficult matter to change national
sentiment, and equally as difficult
now to check the tide of American
enterprise and progress that has set in
toward Mexico yet one of the other
must give way.
