pOetieaI,
THE THRUSH.

THE THRUSH,
Glad prophet hidden in the leaves,
Thy sudden flute strikes through the rain;
The air thrill Of hope receives,
The day begins to breathe again
The dull day weeping ceaselsss rain
The world may weep, yet sound OF tears
But family stirs this cloistered space
Where noi.eless feet Of passing years
FAN on soft lawns ard leave no trace,
But cast fresh spells about the place.
Alb, not for US such green respose,
Gray, wall-girt stiffness, brooding air
Whore floats the soul o fesch dead rose
The endless years have seen unclose.
And pass, sweet ghost, to haunt the air.
Sing loud, and bid US dream no more
In this fair prison Of the soul,
But rise and grid US. and before
The sun sets hasten toward the goal,
Break loose these sweet bonds OF the soul.
Sing mid the falling leaves thy song
OF hope, though Autumn's breath is here
The day is short, the way is long.
Up!l let us labor and be strong,
Nor faIter till the end appear.

THERE is some slight resemblance be-
tween the present iron situation and the
situation at this time Of year in 1879. In
June and July Of that year the market was
dull and depressed, not from an over stock
Of goods, but from apprehensions about
the crops and the nervous habit Of mind
begouen in the mercantile and manufac.
turing community by the panic. Before
the summer was ended q rise in prices set
in that finally carried pig iron from SIS
to so per ton. While there is no ikeli-
hood OF that rise repeating itself this year
there is every reason to believe that the
long continued downward tendency Of iron
has seen its nadir OF depression, and that
unless the crop prospects fall decidedly
short Of the present outlook we shall see
more animation aud frmer prices before
the summer is ended. The fact that more
than half Of the furnaces Of the country
are out Of blast, and that stocks Of pig iron
have largely decreased, is indicative that aa
the season wears away consumption will
be found to have so far gained on produc-
ton that an active and firm market may
be looked for.

p,...,ror. Fire in san Francisco.

San FRASc1sce, June 20-The most dis
astrous fire since the great lumber fire two
years ago, was frat noticed at $50 this
morning by the steward Of the Olympic
Club House. Before he could turn in an
alarm the fire had got well under way.
When the engines arrived hope ceased in
saving the upper portion OF the building
and the FIRE patrol Immediately turn
ed their attention to saving the
dry goods house OF f0'Connor &
Mofatt, and succeeded by means
OF tarpaulins. At o'clock the rear wall
fell out into Morton street, inhabited at
one end by the demi monde. Great con-
sternation was created among the occu-
pants, who sought refuge in all quarters.
At 5 o'clock the fire department succeeded
in overcoming the flames, saving the two
lower stories and adjoining buildings, for
tunately protected by heavy walls Of ma
sonry. The first two floors were occupied by
the dry goods establishment Of 0'Cennor,
Moffatt 4 Co.; the third story by the Acme
Billiard Parlors, owned by the Brunswick
and Bake Co., OF Chicago; the upper story
by the Olympic Club. The building was
erected in 1888, and although 1t withstood
the heavy earthquake OF that year has late
ly been considered fre,trap by the FIRE
authorities. Total loss, S507, 900; total in-
surance, $3l0, 1000.

After all Is said and done the fact re-
mains that everybody is at sea tonight,
and the morrow is looked forlwith fear and
trembling. The fight has been SO bitter.

any one OF the three or four most promi.

Charges OF corruption are rife, and the fun
will be lively when It begins. Allen Thnr.

on Hoadly, and.Allen g. has an immense
influence with the Democracy, an influence
almost as strong as money, over them.
Geddes Is posed as . Temperance man in
favor Of license. But tits significant that
Bob McCray, who can drink more whisky
than any man in Richland county except
Tom McCray, is his trainer with McCray q
good second. The saloon men don't ap-
pear particularly shy Of Geddes, who Is
evidently flirting with somebody. DEL.

COLUMBUS, O., June 2o.-The Democratic
State Convention tomorrow will be the
largest and most interesting one for many
years. The city was crowded all day with
prospective candidates. All interest cen
ters in the Goyernorship, Hoadly, Ward
and Geddes being the three prominent
candidates. The best information tonight
puts Hoadly in the lead with Ward a
very close second. All are on the
ground with an army of strikers work
ing like beavers. A bitter personal
warfare is being carried on against Hoadly
on account Of bis once being Republican
and entertaining atheistic notions. His
friends hope to nominate him on the first
ballot tomorrow, falling In this the con-
test will be the most bitter and prolonged
between him and Ward. Geddes holds
his forces well in hand hoping to grasp the
prize in that case. General Denver is also
on the ground and deatrous OF being the
dark horse. Eighty Candidates are, re-
ported for ten nominations on the ticket,
but the geographical distribution will de-
termine largely after the head of the ticket
is ehosens SO il isidle to speculate, except
thatJ, J. Burns will likely get the Commis-
|sionership Of the Common Schools. Various
committees met tonight, and most are yet
in session at-nidnight. The contest for
place is SO ovefshadowing that the plat.
form is lost sight Of Nota word Is heard

NUTS DERRAsE.
The Funds started-rhe Contributions
Coming In.

P1rrsBuRaH, June 2o.-A special from
Uniontown to the Chronicle says: 1t has
been published that the contributions com
ing in for the defense 81 James Mutt are
not necessary, as the family is not in con
dition to need financial aid. This state
ment is,not correct. When all the claiml
against Captain Nuts little property
are met there will be nothing left
He had Just built very handsome
residence out Of town, but was
struck down before he got It pait Tor: he
left nine children, all small except James
and Miss Lizzie. James being nov In
prison, the only natural support OF tie
widowed mother, Is gone. Here where
such q verdict as that which acquitted
Dukes, was rendered, it will require able
counsel and no small amount Of expense
to secure for young Mutt the verdict
which public sentiment demands. The
family are not able TO meet this expense
and hence Mrs. Mutt and Miss Lizzie are
sending their grateful Acknowledgements to
all who are forwarding their contributions.
These offers OF aid come in un-
solicited, but, they are not declin-
ed, as the fund will be thankfully
appropriated to the object intended. Mnl-
Lin. 4 Mills, Of Bradford, Pa, volunteered
500; J., L. Tonias, Of Philadelphia, $50;
Mount Savage Fire Brick Co., Keystone
Junction, Pa, 800; ten employees in alivery
stable, at Dennison, Ohio, $40; Fisher & Hils
ofBaltimore, $50. DR.. P.W. KohlersendsSl
from Baltimore, and proposes to starr q
dollar fund, ITO which Henry Mckay, L. G.
Parker and R. Powell, Of ST. Panl, Mimi,
add 81 each. { Many others offer aid Il
needed, but they have not been informed
until now that aid is acceptable. y
The movement to raise fund for young
Nuts defense will un9uestionably meet
witha a generous public response. By the
time the case is put on the trial list there
will be fund sufficient to induce the best
legal talent In the country to plead the
} oupg avengers cause. "a

Bank Cashiers asd Clerks the Victims OF
n Novel seheme.A


WASHINGTON, June 2e.-The arrest oi
Isaac H. Lockwood, in Connecticut, for or
ganizing an original and brilliant conf
dence scheme, by which he victimized a
number OF bank clerks in that.state, re-
calls his exploits in this city. ys
{ But this last exploit OF Lockwood, as set
forth in the New Haven Eyening Erpres,
Is so bold and original, as TO provoke admi.
ration along with condemnation. It ap-
pears that when lockwood left Washing
ton, he became clerk at Titfany's, in New
York. It was at Stepney Depot, Conn.,,
that be developed bis grand scheme, a con-
fidential letter to bankers, bank clerks,
cashiers, &c. The letter recited the path
etic story Of q young bank clerk, who, after
an SS5 900 deialcaiion, found himself facing
ruin. He went to rich friend who gener.
ously gave him the sum he asked for with
the single proyiso that he should devote
his life to honesty and economy, and bis
wealth to relieving similar cases that he
should meet with during his career. The
young man went to work, and during q
series OF busy years, amassed the colossal
sum OF S7S0, 600. But, alas he never came
across q single case where q detaulting
banker needed aid. So, on his death, he
left his $3.50, 900 TO an executor, with in
structions to apply it to this purpose.
The letter then invited confidential ap-
peals from embarrassed agents" Lock
wood had obtained q copy Of the Bankers
Almanac and Register, for 1882, and was
then enabled to direct his envelopes with
perfect accuracy. He sent out four or FIVE
thousand OF these circular letters, and Is
believed to have victimiEed many people.
His game was to threaten the exposure Of
persons who were weak enough to write
confidential letters of appeal in response,
using their written confessions against
them. He received q great many registered
letters, and It Is believed that the stepney
Postmaster was in the sWindle, as be has
fed the country. The alert Postoffice au-
thorities got clue Of what was going on,
and Lockwood is now in durance vile on
the charge OF using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. Many Of the letters received by
him, and found in his possession, present
the most pitiable tales Of dishonesty and
pecuniary ruin.

C1cAdo, June 9O.-This has proved an
other exciting day on Change, and the
condition OF affairs has been very much
strained. The great trading changed over
somewhat from provisions to wheat and
corn, and the failures which have occurred
in all lines have caused q suspicion OF un-
steadiness to attach to many heavier firms.
Flu ctuations in all markets Jhaye been
shaf p and rapid, ,and spectators have iu
cons, ,quence been calling unfortunately
for nnrgins. One failure was announced
during the forenoon, that Of Geo. Stewart
& Co., reported long on wheat and lard.
All mar, ,kets up, to noon displayed signs Of
a demon llized market.
The markets all assumed their former
tone toward the close, although the seve re
drop inipork. was not altogether recovered,
just before the close the firm Of Daily &
Co., who have been dealing heavily in
pork, succumbed, and so notified those
with whom they had dealings. Liabilities
not asc etained. The. rumor that Robert
Lindbloom had failed is not true, .

A Row Breaks Out that Nay Prove to
- q serious fair. '' '7l5i

-.;r t q aserious Affair. '7.5t
WASHINGTON, June 20.-There is another
row in the camp OF some Of the Georgia
politicians. Itappears that L. NJ. Peasants,
who was appointed Collector Of Internal
Revenue for the Savannah district at the
instance Of Emory speer, is unable to sup
ply bond which was satisiactory to the
law officers Of the Treasury Department,
though he has filed four, and all have been
rejected. This failure Of Peasants to sup
ply an adequate bond, has led the poll.
ticians 10 think he would be remeved, and,
as result, the candidates for the place
have been plenty. Speer, while willing 10
ment would sustain him, felt, nevertheless,
the necessity Of recommending anothgr
man named White, whom he want
ed appointed in the event OF the
removal Of Peasants. Marshal Longstreet,
who opposes Speer as an intruder In the
ranks ot the Republican party, wanted a
man named Wimberly appointed, and
Colonel Jack Brown, one Of the 306 at
Chicago, represented Longstreet's interests
at this end OF the line. The interests Of
Peasants are looked alter here by friend
named Wilson, and when Brown goes near
the Treasury Departments is safe to wager
that Wilson Is not far of, and vice versa.
When Wilson calls first Brown is not many
minutes behind. They watch each others
movements closely, lest one or the other
gains an advantage, and the public career
OF each one ia viyidly told by the other to
the willing ears Of any official. Colonel
Brown, 1t would seem, has not been any
too careful in what he has said OF Pleas
ants, and he has Just received q letter from
the Collector which reads Us follows:
SAVANNAH, GA, June II, 1888.
Colonel Jack BrOtEn: - 2, tf
lam apprised Of your iniamy, and will
get even with you in the future.
L. N. PtEAsASrs.
It Is needless to add that the Colonel
was surprised and not little mortified
when he read the letter. Peasants is q
colored man and the Colonel is one OF the
rare old style OF tire.eateB. He is quoted
as saying: "What am to do7 ldon't
want anything to do with d-d niger. II
he were here I'd shoot him as ! would q
dog"
Unless Secretary Folger does something
TO settle the difficulty It would look as
though the speck Of war will develop into
something more formidable. II is proba.
BILE that when the plan for consolidating
the revenue districts Ia made known Il will
be found that Collector Peasants will be
legislated out Of Office and his district ad.
ded to the one adjoining, with the other
collector at the head Of both. This will
settle the difficulty and give as much salts
faction all around as perhaps any other
course that might be adopted. GSIfFII
