Quite u Mistake.

Philadelphia Times.
"The late Archbishop Purcell was a
young lawyer in Lancaster about 1882.
33, said Robert S. Reed last evening. q l
remember his appearance distinctly,
though l was quite young at the time. He
struggled for about two years to secure
practice. but was unsuccessful and went
West. When We next heard Of him he
was priest. He was popular young
man of perhaps 2G years, but be was un-
fortunate in selecting Lancaster. Iss bar
then contained the ablest talent in the
state. There were the Hopkinses, Bnch
anan, Jenkins, Peters, Montgomery, Fra
zer, Park, Champneys and Elimaker This
was long before Thaddeus Stevens time.
Yes, can 500 young Purcell now, with his
tbreadbare fr0ck coat. His experience in
Lancaster caused him to enter the priest
hood, believe"
THE above statement is not correct.
Archbishop Purcell neither studied nor
practiced law in Lancaster. His brother,
Edward Purcell, read law in this city with
the late Judge Champneys. He was a
diffident, retiring sort of man and never
made much headway here. About 1894
or 1885 he left this city and went to Gin
cinnati where be became assistant to his
moro eminent brother. His subsequent
career is familiar to all.-EDs. 1NTELLI-

The CuKNWALL ROAD.
Extension OF tho Old CORNWALL Road TO
Mannheim and COnewagO.

Extension OF tho Old CORNWALL Road TO
Mannheim and OOnewsgO.
Harrisburg Independent.
Work on Robert II. COleman's new
railroad from Cornwall to Lebanon is
being pushed forward with the expecta-
tiOn of completing it in about six weeks.
1t will be about five and one. third miles in
length, the greatest portion of which has
been graded, and rails have been laid about
three miles, beginning at Lebanon. There
will be three regular stations, one at each
end and one about midway, though it is
probable that the trains will stop at other
points whenever there are persons who
want to alight CT board the train. At
Cornwall some magnificent bridges over
public roads are being constructed now,
both for the New Lebanon & Cornwall
road and the Old Cornwall road.
At Cornwall Robert IL. Coleman is
removing the tracks OF the old road to
the west side of the old road bed and
the rails of tho new road will be laid on
tho old bed. Wherever no takes up
the old rails be furnishes new rails for
both roads. Tho two roads are parallel
lines, on an average only about seven feet
apart. The "old" Cornwall was built
some 30 years age, and, as one of the
officials smilingly remarked, it connected
with the Union canal before the Lebanon
valley railroad was built. The oldest
charcoal furnace now in operation in the
United States is located at the
other end of the line. 1t belongs to
the II. w. Coleman heirs. This es-
tate has four furnaces at Cornwall and one
at Lebanon. Robert II. Coleman has one
at Cornwall aud two at Lebanon. The G.
W.T. 1,..sr bory
and J. and r. Nelly one furnace at Leba-
non. Owing to these furnaces and the
immense quantity Of ore taken from the
Cornwall banks, the iron ore tonnage is
very large. Besides the ore used at the
eleven furnaces, large Quantities are
sold and sent to other furnaces. 1t is
greatly increased after the Southern
outlets have been completed. Tho old
Cornwall road will be extended tlis sum.
mer four and three quarter miles 10 Mount
Hope, where a rOadbed was made years
ago (but no track laid) to MaDheim, Ian.
caster county, where a connection will be
made with the Reading and Columbia road.
The passenger trains which formerly run
to Donaghmore station, in the western
suburbs Of Lebanon, now ruu to the
Lebanon Valley road. The Cornwall and
Lebanon railroad (Robert II. COleman's)
will connect at Cornwall with the Cole
brook Valley railroad, which has been
under construction the past three years,
and will, it is expected, be completed by
August. The latter road is over sixteen
miles long and will connect with the
Pennsylvania railroad at COnewagO station
about fifteen miles below this city. 1t is
expected that large quantities Of Cornwall
ore will be shipped over this road to the
Pennsylvania road.

wind was rather strong, unsteady and
tricky. Out of a possible IS G. w. Hin
man and F. J. Rabbeth each scored 20, J.

Mr.. Bull II.
The Americans have entered themselves
for all the matches for which they are
qualified. Two series Of prizes will be in
stituted which will be open only to the
Americans. The Wimbledon committee
has decided not to allow the American
team to use wind gauges, as it considers
that the issue to them of complimentary
tickets to military compositions will insure
the Americans full amount of practice.
Thus they will obtain the same amount of
practice as the English team will. The
complimentary tickets entitle the Ameri.
cans to shoot free, unless they compete for
prizes, in which case they must enter in
the usual manner.

A GREAT CATTLE RANGE.
JOIin Cameron's Arizona Purcnas,

JoIin Cameron's Arizona Purcnase.
From the Arizona Daily Star of June
5th printed at Tucson, Arizona territory,
We learn that Colin Cameron, formerly
manager of the Elizabeth stock farms,
pear Brickerville, this county, has pur
chased from Rollins B. Richardson, the
San Rafael stock range, located about
sixty-fi miles south of Tucson, and con
tanning about sixteen square miles of the
finest grazing land in the world. The
Star understands that the purchase was
made for strong Eastern syndicate which
includes both General aud Don Cameron,
and some of the wealthiest men Of Wash
ington city. They propose to put on large
herds of stock which will include cattle,
horses and hogs. Mr.. Cameron secured,
with his purchase about fifteen hun
dred head of as fine American
cows and bulls as can 10 found
in Arizona. The altitude of tho range
is about 5,OOO feet above sea level, and ia
neither hot nor cold. The range is vast
rolling mesa country, thickly covered with
the most nutritious grasses during the
entire year. The Santa Cruz river rises
on the range and runs through it for five
miles or more, which supplies everlasting
water. There are a large number of never
failing springs on different parts of the
ranch. This is on important fact, as water
controls the land in this country, and
another thing, good stream is equal to a
dozen herders, as the cattle must come tn
it for water, which keeps them from
roaming off too far.
No winter shelter is required. In the
foothills and the mountains there is
plenty of timber, canOns and shelter,
where the wind is never felt. The fact is,
it seldom gets cold enough to freeze ice
an inch thick. We very seldom have
snow. As for hay. the ground is covered
with grass during the entire winter,
which cures itself, aud is just as nu-
trltious in January as in September.
Here is where Arizona beats the world
for stock raising. No shelter is
required, nor this great expense of putting
up hay. The ranch will support fifteen
thousand cattle and large number OF
horses. The mountains are covered with
oak trees which bear thousands of bushels
of acOrns from which thousands of hogs
can be raised and fattcned for the market.
This could be made highly profitable
part Of the stock business on that ranch.
Mr.. Richardson from whom the purchase
was made regards stock raising as the
safest, best paying and in every way the
most profitable business in Arizona. He
believes any man with industry and good
judgment and a few cattle can make him
self fortune in less time, less risk and les:
hard work than in any other business ir
the country. He only sold out to Cam
eron because he offered him his price, anG
he will at once look out for another exten-
sive ranch. The terms of Mr.. CamerOn's
purchase ale not made public.

THE DEAD PRELATE.
SorrUwing People still Viewing the Rel

SOrrUwing People still Viewing the Remains
of Archbishop Purcell.
Yesterday, at Cincinnati, the weather
was cool, the sky clear and the streets in
good condition, circumstances favorable
for visiting the body of Archbishop Pur-
cell, lying in state. Ali day long a pro-
cession of people as closely as they could
walk in single file kept moving past the
bier. The waiting line extended far back
into Eighth street. 1t was composed
largely of elderly people and women and
children. Thero was no crowd at all in
the street, as was the case yesterday. It
was silent procession. No one spoke.
Men uncovered their heads the moment
they entered the residence. After passing
the corpse the line went out through the
visible. Boys were selling chrome por-
traits of the archbishop and funeral
badges. The profits, it is understood,
however, are to 60 to the benefit of Cath.
olic orphan asylums. The catafalque in
the cathedral is not yet ready, and so the
body will not be moved there till to NOR

N. Y. Sun.
We second the motion that Saratoga
shall be selected as the place for holding
the national Democratic convention in
1884. 1t is delightful spot everybody
likes to 90 there and it possesses ample
hotel accommodations for the greatest
throng that may be collected.
We do not known any other place that
unites extraordinary attractions and con-
veniences in SO great degree as Sara
tOga.
We also suggest to the national CON-
mittee, who have the matter in their hands,
that the convention should not be held at
too early day. There is no advantage in
launching prematurely into the heat and
labor of the canvass. Montgomery Blair,
one of the wisest public men we have ever
known, has always been of the opinion
that the first of September is quite early
enough.

A GLOVE FIGHT STOPPED.

BROOKS Attempts to Knock out Nolan In
Four Rounds.
A soft glove contest set for four rounds
at Mozart hall, in Gin cinati, Ohio, was
stopped by the police at the end of the
second round. The contestants in the
fight were Professor Brooks, of California,
1913 pounds, and Peter Nolan, Cincinnati
shoemaker, who stripped at 1S5 pounds.
Marquis of Queensberry rules governed.
The money at issue was $3.50 side and
the terms were that Brooks was to knock
Nolan out of time in four rounds of three
minutes each or forfeit.
At a quarter past ten the mill began.
The house was clearly on the side of
Nolan. At the very outset of the first
round Nolan gave Brooks a knockdown,
amid deafening cheers from the specta-
tors. Before the end of the round
Brooks got in a hard blow on Nolan's left
ribs. At the close Nolan looked the
fresher. In the second round they spared
for few moments and then both sailed
in. Nolan gave Brooks a hard knock
down. Brooks put in his best licks, but
backed to his corner to get the worst fall
of the evening. Here the police mounted
the stage and Abe Smith annnunced to
the spectators what their purpose was
and added, " We must obey the law
The audience dispersed at once and
thus the affair ended. Brooks was fat
and out of condition. Nolan was tall,
compact, solid and active, and did not
look his weight.
