A PHANTOM HAND.
Revealed on . Railroad Track BY . Ghostly
Warning Lighs.

Revealed on . Railroad Track by . 0h0Stly
Warning Light.
Excitement runs high at Canajoharie, N.
Y, owing to the nightly appearance of a
ghostly, mysterious light along the Central
track. The light starts from the old fort,
and is at first very small. It gradually In.
creases in size, and goes down the railroad
track about three feet from the ground. The
night watchmen say that hand can be
distinguished about it. Sometimes the
light goes bounding down the track, and
again rises thirty feet in the air. Several
trains, including the Atlantic express, have
been stopped by the light, believing it to
be danger signal. It appears about 1890
p. m, just before the arrival of the fast
mail.
Fifty persons lay in ambush in tho vicin-
ity Tuesday night in hopes of ferretiDg
out the matter. but the light did not
appear, but the night watchman and others
vouch for the truth of its appearance
usually. Railroad men are filled with fear
and superstition, and dread to approach
the spot at night. Some say it is fore
warning of railroad horror to be enacted
in the vicinity. Another party of investi.
gators will make another trial.

BASEBALL,
A fOor Game In Which the lronsides are
Defeated.

A foor Game In Which the lronsldes are
Defeated.
Yesterday the Ironsides had another of
day and were defeated by the Hartville
club, of Philadelphia, by the score of Is
to 10. The game was one OF the poorest
played here this season, and the audience
wore sick and tired OF it long before the
ninth inning was reached. The crowd
was large and demOnstrative. It will be
remembered that the Hartville club was
here several weeks ago and were defeated
by score Of 2 to 6. Yesterday their nine
was considerably changed from that time
and at least five new men played
with them, who wero not here before.
The Ironsides had their weakest team in
tho field. On Monday night they received
word that Winters would not be here but
they depended upon player from Phila-
delphia- The latter did not come and
sent no word, although it was known in
the morning by some alleged sporting men
that he would not be here and it is said
that they were instrumental in keeping
him away in order that the Ironsides would
loose the game. This would have had
little effect ON the game, however, as the
stranger would have been put in the field,
had he came, instead of behind the bat as
WIZ 6OSUAOAAsOAA "a AAAOuOy s"oAihOus ouot
before the game was called Arnold was
notified that he waste play right field with
King centre. He at once got ready and
took the place.
Game was called at 1855 by Umpire
John Malone. The Ironsides were first 10
the bat, but neither they nor the visitors
scored in the first inning. In the second
inning the Ironsides made some good hits
and managed to get in four runs aided by
frightful errors of the other team. The
third inning opened with bad errors on
the part of the lronsides and considerable
safe hitting by the visitors. This was
continued until seven runs were obtained,
after which the visitors did not score for
two innings. In the fifth Rhoads made a
run on error, and the seventh was re-
petition of the third and seven more were
scored. The 1rOnsides succeeded in add
ing four to their score in the seventh inn
ing and two in the ninth leaving the score
at the end stand Hartvilles Is, Ironsides
10.
The game VAS certainly an exhibition of
errors, which were numerously made on
the part Of both clubs. Whenever one
nine would. begin to beat heavily tho
other kindly assisted in running up the
score by making the most astonishing
errors. The hands of Sixsmith were
in terrible condition during the
game and Zecher took his place after the
third inning, playing a fine game. Six
smith seems to bs an unlucky man, and
before leaving the homo plate he was
knocked down and considerably injured
by Hyman who was running home. The
score, with the errors and good plays. and
the names of those who made chem, will
give the reader an idea of the game {:

PATTlsON ArWILLIAMsPORT.

He lnspeces siegfried's Brigade and is En-.
tortsined BY tho Grand Army.
Governor Pattison and staff; accompan-
led by General Hartranft and staff, arrived
in Williamsport Tuesday morning by
special train, for the purpose Of inspecting
the third brigade of the national guards.
The distinguished party wore met at the
railroad station with carriages to convey
them to the encampLlent. The governor
and General Hartranft, through some
oversight, rolled out to ths grounds in the
worst old rattlebox of hack in the city.
Upon tho arrival of the governor he was
received with q salute of seventeen guns,
fred by Battery G, of Phenixville, com.
manded by Captain Denithorne. He spent
the day in camp, making q careful inspec-
tion of the arms and equipments of the
troops, as we'll as an examination of their
quarters and the quality of the provisions
furnished them.
At 10 o'clock last night be was given a
banquet at the City hotel by Reno post,
which was great affair. The governor
entered the banquet room leaning on the
arm of Colonel F. E. Embick, a local
member of his staff. The brigade band,
of Pottsville. was present, and discoursed
appropriate music. The attendance was
large, all tho veteran officers and soldiers
being present except General Siegfried.
Tho governor was very much pleased with
his reception. While the banquet was in
progress strong provost guard appeared
from the camp and bagged a number of
soldiers who were present at tho hotel
without leave. One soldier, in his efforts
to escape, jumped out of window and
narrowly escaped being transfixed on the
bayonets Of the guard.
To day tho grand review took place,
when tho governor and party went to
Conneaut lake to inspect the second bri.
gade, commanded by General Beaver.

ssAAA8ee
TIE proceedings yesterday in the Brit.
ish House of Commons were marked BY .
good deal Of vituperation, consequent
upon the consideration of the illegal ex-
penses incurred in the recent criminal
prosecutions in Ireland. Nr. Paruell was
especially emphatic in his deuunciations
Of tho methods employed by the crown for
tho conviction Of prisoners, charging that
jurors wore packed and tho most reck.
less proceedings followed to secure convic-
tion for the purpose Of striking terror to
tho people Of Ireland. There was no
hesitation during the trials among those
who were supposed to be sble to know, in
asserting that good deal Of crookedness
Was apparent on tho part Of England, but
ii there was such, tho facts were carefully
suppressed from cable communication. II
u . serious charge, however, and one,
which it would be thought, should be, If 1t
is false, emphatioally denied and investi-
gated. Yet tho perceptible quiet sullen.
ness with which it was received yesterday
in the House Of Commons from the Irish
leader, gives . very tangible tinge Of
credenoe to II, and does much to justify
the impression, that there was ct least, a
very unusual rapidity of procedure and a
careless disregard Of evidence favorable to
the criminals noticeable in several of the
trials.

have gives them about i've more districts
than they are entitled to and five less to
the Democrats than their share. When
counties like Bucks are dismembered
and a line is run through cities like
Scranton, in order to steal districts for
the Republicans, 1t is no wonder that
they do not desire to disturb the existing
order of things. They want no new
senatorial apportionment when Lebanon
county with 3s,476 population has one
senator and Berks with 122 500 has only
one while Delaware with 56,1O1 has
one senator and Luzerne with 1s3 ,085 has
only one. They want no representative
apportionment, because under any that
can be framed the Democratic counties
of Clear6eld, Fsyette and Westmoreland
will each gain member and the Re-
publican counties Of Erie, Crawford,
Venango and Franklin will each lose q
member.

THE Democrats in the Legislature
have resolved by large majority, in
caucus assembled, to stay in session, as
Uncle Jake Ziegler expresses it, until
the snow flies or the apportionments are
made. Very well. If they are content
we have no reason to be discomfort.
We would not do it ourselves if we were
there nothing but q stern sense..of duty
would keep us in Harrisburg for SO long
q time. II we believed We could secure
the apportionments that the constitution
commands by staying, we would be will
ing to take ten years Of Harrisburg or
Hades. But unless the Republican SEN
ators are iineal descendants of Ananias,
Uncle Jake's SHOWS will come and 20
and leave him in his seat with the ap
p0rtf0nments still unmade. We believe
in sticking to purpose so long as there
is any chance of obtaining it; but as we
see none of securing satisfactory appor-
tionments, and as We do not want any
other kind, our judgment is that our
legislators had better 60 home and take
the issue they have made to the people.
But IL they think otherwise, as the sauce
is particularly theirs, they can keep it
up with our cheerful assent.

FEATURES OF TIE STATE PRESS.

FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS.
The Philadelphia Chronicle Herald dc.
precates the growth of the spirit of pater-
nalism in the national government.
To tho Easton Ezpress it is an object Of
wonder how smoothly We get along while
the government has gone fishing.
The Pittsburg Leader considers that it
would be cheaper and more satisfactory to
have the fremen clean tho city streets.
The Doylestown Democrat recommends
an independent treasury" system for
the state, such as is adopted by the federal
government.
The Reformed Messenger is much e1er-
cised over tho "dearth of devotion"
among young men, as evidenced by the
paucity of candidates for the ministry.
The Lebanon Adusrtiser wants no better
evidence of the success of Governor Pat
tison's administration thus far, than the
continual fault finding of the opposition.
Anew York exchange exclaims "Con.
found Tilden," and the Pittsburg Dis
patch concludes that that's just the thing.
but would like to know who is to do it.
The West Chester Republican favors the
organization of the state militia on q
national basis, under strict and implacable
rules, as only in this way can it become a
valuable adjunct to the standing army.
The Norristown Register believes that q
reliance on the ignorance of the people has
caused the Republicans to adopt their
present policy Of obstruoting apportion-
ments.
The Democratic candidates, says the
York Age, represent the noble effort to
purify the public service, and, as such,
will receive the support Of all friends of
honest administration of public affairs.
In finally rejecting the resolution for a
free conference, the Pottsville Ohronicls
says the Senate of Pennsylvania has de-.
liberately refused to act in conjunction
with the House in passing necessary legis.
lation.
The Philadelphia Euening Telegraph
calls attention to tho fact that the next
Legislature will not be elected until 1884.
when the present apportionment issue will
be forgotten in the heated issues of the
presidential campaign.
Very properly the Pittsburg Post says :
" The Republican state officials do not 60
about the business Of gathering in the
sinking fund money from favored banks
with any energy or alacrity. It Is the
breaking up of snug business"

MATTERS OF GOVERNMENT.

The Question Of Duty ON Articles Under the
Now Tariff.
The treasury department is considering
the question of the duty on sulphate Of
cinchonidia under the new tariff law.
Cinchonidia was put on the free list without
specifying whether or not the term should
embrace the sulphate as we'll as the aka
loid. Importers maintain that beth are
free, while American manufacturers of
quinine contend that the alkaloid only is
covered by the term oinchonidia, and that
the su]phate is dutiable at twenty. five per
cent.
Messrs. Fisk and Whittlesey, the com.
missioners appointed by the Indian bureau
to investigate the recent troubles at the
Creek nation, and if possible bring about
settlement between the factions, have
made report embodying an agreement
and recommendation signed by 20 Creek
chiefs, which has been approved by tho
commissioners.
The text of the treaty of commerce and
been officially published in the City of
Mexico. 1t contains the "most favored
nation" clause and under its provisions,
German residents in Mexico are to pay no
taxes not levied on Mexicans, are to be
exempt from military service aud contri.
buttons in lieu thereof, and from forced
loans.
News has been received from Lima that
battle was fought on July 10th, in which
all the opposing forces under Caceres were
routed, and since that time the Peruvian
leaders have hastened to declare their ad-
herence to President Iglesias. 1t was
thought that, all elements of opposition to
Chilian control having been thus over
come, q Congress would soon meet at
Lima to ratify the treaty with Chill, and
that Peru would be evacuated by the
Chilian troops within three months.
The state department is informed of re
cent action by the Spanish government,
which places foreign blacks landing in
Cuba on an equality with all other per-
sons. Such blacks can now land on that
island without the previous consent of the
captain general or the deposit Of money,
and can reside there as do other races.''
