A historic EELL
presenteS to Grace Luthorau On,

Presented to Grace Lutheran Church.
This morning the old bell that has SO
long hung in the tower OF the Washington
engine house and sounded the alarm
of fire in tho days of the old volun-
teer fra department. was taken down
and carried to the vestibule of Grace
Lutheran church, where it will remain
until belfry shall be erected ON one of
the towers of the church for its reception.
The bell weighs between 800 and 400
pounds, is of excellent tone and is ono of
the very oldest bells in the United States.
It was cast for the Ephrata Brethren in
1745, remained in their possession many
years and after the Revolutionary war
found its way to the steeple of
Trinity Lutheran church, of this city,
where it hung and called the faithful 20
worship, until some thirty years ago a
number of liberal gentlemen presented
old Trinity with the chime of tells that
now hang in her lofty steeple. when the
old bell was taken down and. We believe,
was sold to q hardware merchant as old
metal. The late Godlieb Sener purchased
it and presented it to the Washington fire
company, of which he was SO long a dis.
tinguished member. 1t hung for years
in the belfry of the old engine house
of the Washington (nearly opposite their
present halD and when the new hall was
built it was removed to the tower aud
hung there until this morning, when it
was taken down, the company having sold
1t to J. Fred Senor, q son Of the late God
lieb Sener, and By him presented to Grace
Lutheran church, as a memorial to his
little son Charlie who died a year or swo
ago. The bell is in as perfect condition an
when it came from the hands of the found
or. Cast ON its surface in raised Roman
capital letters are the following "SUB

The Pardon Board,

1t has been noticed that the new board
of pardons, at its first meeting, failed to
grant any exercise of clemency in the
cases heard before it, though one mur
derer's petition was not definitely re-
fused. This disposition Of numerous
applications made was not the result of
arbitrary resolution to give an early ex
hibition ofheroic disregard to meritorious
cases, but it was in accord with the de-
termination of the new board to consider
no applications in which there are not
facts presented arising or developed since
the trial of the defendants. 1t is held
by the new members Of the board, all of
whom are lawyers, that when the prisoner
has exhausted all the processes of the
courts and has had due investigation
OF his case by judge and jury
it is not for the pardon board to disturb
their findings except for after discovered
causes. This seems to be a reasonable
rule, and once it comes to be understood
and appreciated the board will find its
labors lightened. That it is to be liber-
ally construed We may infer from the
disposal by the board Of the excep-
tional case we have quoted. In that in
stauce-a man is under sentence of death
for murdeling a woman, though there
was no further establishment of the
corpus delicti than the finding of a
detached skull on the surface of a river
and it was only identified 10y the lower
law bone; nor was there any special
motive for the murder ever developed.
Under these peculiar circumstances the
board considered the bad character of
the witnesses for the commonwealth,
which had not been shown at the trial,
sufficient cause to inquire into the case,
though no mitigation of the death sen.
tence has been agreed to. Certainly in
capital cases the board should give the
most lenient construction to its rule, if
not abate it altogether in Difference to
the growing popular sentiment against
this extreme measure of punishment.

As has been usual for several
Saturdays past there were large
quantities of leaf tobacco deliver
ed to-day at many of the city ware
houses, and on the whole it was of very
good quality. From interviews had with
growers from different sections of the
county, we learn that in some townships
the greater part of the crop has been sold,
while in others comparatively few sales
have been made. Perhaps more than one
third and less than one half of the entire
crop of 1882 has been bought.

The House at Harrisburg yesterday
voted in one breath to print $4 600 worth
of Smull's hand books, at the expense
of the state, to be distributed among
the friends of the members of the Legis-
lature, and to inquire what retrenchms n.
can be made in the public printing. The
coupling of these two propositions is
somewhat of severe commentary on
the first, but that the hand book job has
not YET been fully realized we deduce
from the fact that the measure has only
received 100 votes on third reading in
the House while 1O1 is the constitutional
majority necessary to pass all bills

Victims Of Opium.
In Bloomington, ILL.,, two young men
named respectively William Bone, jr., and
Elmer Folsom, sons of wealthy citizens
were found in room in public building
lying in an unconscious condition. At
first they were thought to be asleep but
an opium pipe was found lying upon the
lounge which led to the conviction that
they were the victims of that seductive
drug. Bone toward evening rallied, but
young Folsom cannot be aroused and is
thought to be in very critical condition.
Both are members of the leading social
circles of the city, Bone being the eldest
son of the leading merchant and a young

some reputation as writer of poetry.
Folsom is the son of Peter Folsom ex-

his conduct and religion teachings have

having murdered Daniel Miller, the bus
band of the woman. Since her incarcera.
