A REDUCTION OF E
A Verdant Legislators VirtuOus Intentions
Concerning County Officers Salaries.

1t is said that a bill will be introduced at the
forthcoming session of the Legislature by a new
membe of good intentions providing for a re-
duction of fees and salaries in some of the
county and State Offices, but is altogether likely
that it will meet the fate of all such previous
measures. 1t is reported that the bill contem-
plates a material reduction of the fees of county
sheriffs, and some new provisions for regulating
the manner in which the affairs of county treas
urers shall be conducted. The office of Reporter
of the Supreme Court will probably be trimmed
of much of its ''phat." The income of the
Reporter, since the work of the Supreme Court
commission begun, has been, it is estimated,
from $12,0 0 to $l5, 900 a year, and there is a
popular feeling in favor of reducing the revenue
of the Office to within a reasonable remuneration
for the services required. The price of the re-
ports is $3.50 per copy, and there is a bowling
demand from the lawyers for a reduction. 1t is
said that one of the petitions for reducing the
price, circulated two years ago, was signed by
Mr.. Kern, the newly-elected Reporter, and it is
stated that Reporter Martin, the predecessor of
Mr.. Dice. prior to his becoming a candidate for
the office, was also a petitioner for cheaper
reports.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Hardware Store of yajen & New Dam
aged to the Extent of $4,000,

The hardware store of Vajen & New was bad
~ damaged by fire early yesterday morning,
The manner in which the fire originated is un-
known, butt it began in the basement of the build
ing and was discovered in the rear shortly before
4o'clock. The fire department responded prompt
ly to the alarm, but owing to the dense smoke
which peryaded the entire building, there was
a delay Of nearly twenty minutes before any eff
fective work could be done. The smoke was
suffocating and extinguished the light of the
torches carried by the fremen. The flames,
however, were confined to the rubbish and the
boxes stored away in the basement, and they
water, the chemical engine alone furnishing a
sufficient stream. The floor of the store-room
was burned in a few places and was more or less
damaged, but the loss on the building will not
exceed 81, 900. However, the stock, which is
valued at $50, 000, was badly damaged by the
dense smoke, which maIred the appearance OF
all the polished goods and will, in consequence,
prevent their sale at the usual prices, although
the quality of the material remains perfectly
good.
There is an insurance of $15, 900 on the build
ing, placed in the Sun, National and North Brit
ish companies.
On the stock of the firm there is an insurance
of $33, 600, divided among the companies named
as follows: North British and Mercantile, S l,500;
London, Liverpool & Globe, 81, 500; Royal, So,
GOO; Htna, So, 900; Westchester, So, 900; CONNER
cial Union, 50, 600; Hartford, of Connecticut,
So, 500; Home, of New York, So, 500; American,
Of New York, S $500, Scottish Union, $500:
Guardian, 50, 800.
Messrs. Vaien & New will not know the ex-
tent of the damage to their stock until after a
thorough examination and invoice can be made,
but it is estimated at about IS. 900. Although
occurring at a particularly unfortunate season.
the damage of the fire will not prevent the firm
from continuing business.
The careful work OF the fremen in the
use of water will save what might have caused
a great loss. Several LENDERS of the depart
ment suffered from the smoke. one, Joe Casper,
becoming i'll from the effects of it.
The roof of H. P. Wetsell's stable, No. 739
Delaware street, was burned yesterday morn
ing. The loss is about $3.50, covered by in
surance.
The department was again called out about
7 o'clock last night, but had a useless run.

IT has been objected in certain quarters
in its structures upon the Acton Camp meeting
Association with regard to its responsibility
for the running of Sunday trains during the
continuance of the meeting, and the conse-
quent violation of the statute law of the State
and the general decentralization of the day
For the benefit of those who may think so, we
reprint from the minutes of the Southeast
Indiana Methodist Conference the concluding
portion of the report of the committee on the
observance of the Sabbath, adding merely
that the Acton camp-meeting is within the
jurisdiction of this particular conference, the
president of the association, ex officio, and the
manager-in-chief of the camp, being the pre-
siding elder Of the indianapolis district, South
east Conference. The report adopted by the
conference of 1888 says:
'"The railroads carry on their traffic, steam
ers ply our waters; stores, confectionery shops,
ice-cream parlors beer gardens, tobacco shops
and saloons in many places boldly carry on
papers are hawked about the streets, finding
ready buyers among nearly all classes In
most of our cities and villages large crowds
gather on every Sabbath to witness contests
between rival clubs in base ball.
1--WE are sorry that the proclamation of the
Sabbath is not confined to the worlds people
alone, but many who profess love for God
and the institutions of the Bible habitually
disregard the command to Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy Camp meet
ings, with open gates and gate fees, entice the
people by the thousands, who require, in or

ton, an immense traffic by the railroads, pri-

THE Indianapolis News may be unnecessa-

voted to violate the civil and church law at
Acton as 'hymn-singing hypocrites." We
are quite sure it is not just when it makes the
entire Methodist people of Indiana response
BILE for the action of the ffty-three tent
holders, who prefer the ten cents a head from
Sunday excursion trains to obeying the State
law and their own consciences. Before the
matter is concluded we shall be greatly sur
prised if it is not made manifest that the
vast body of the Methodist Church of Indiana
stands strongly for the sanctity of the Sab

rules, to-wit: we will avoid the profaning
of the day of the Lord, either by doing ordi-
nary work therein or by buying or selling.
This rule we regard as precluding the buying
and reading Of Sunday papers, the buying or
using of railroad tickets, or doing anything
else on the Lords day not absolutely neces-
sary.
"Resolved While we rejoice in the good
accomplished by camp meetings in the past,
we are of the firm conviction that the time
has come when they should be held if at all,
with closed gates on the Sabbath day; that if,
after proper efforts have been made to correct
the evils complained of, camp meeting associa-
tions and railroads will not regard and heed
our oft-repeated utterances on this subject, we
will withhold our support influence and pres
ence from all meetings or associations where
the day of God is desecrated by the running
of Sunday trains, gate fees or traffic of any
kind"

Pittsbnrg's Most Important Bank Compelled
to Close Its Doors.
PITTsBURG, May 2l.-The Penn Bank, of this
city, closed its doors at 1870 P. NJ, and posted
the following on its DOORS
"Owing to continued run for several days we
have decided it wise for our depostors and all con-
| cerned, to suspend payment for the present.
There is great excitement, and large crowd
surrounds the bank. Officers have been placed
at the doors.
William N. Reddle, president of the bank
which was doing the largest business of any
bank in Pittsburg, got up from his bed of sick
ness this morning, having been Frustrated from
hemorrhages, and is now at the bank. The fol-
| lowing statement was made by him to an Asso-
ciated Press representative:
II have nothing to say in detail now, but am
here to face the music and do my duty Owing
to unfOunded reports made current by interested
and malicious persons there has been a run on
us for several days, and our deposits have been
decreased from $500 900 to 800, 900 in five days
We therefore deemed it wise to take the action
we have. Further, l have nothing to say, ex-
cept that I am individually the largest loser,
having the largest deposit and the largest
amount of stock in the bank"
It is said that rumors were set afoat by inter
ested parties that the Penn Bank and two other
draw their accounts. and the result was run
One of the stockholders of the Penn Bank says
the suspended institution is entirely solvent, and
will pay every dollar of debt or on deposit. The
capital stock is $25O,000. A full statement is
promised this evening.
The Penn Bank, yesterday, was assisted to
meet its obligations at the clearing house by a
loan of 100000 made by the Farmers Deposit

pointment, and the checks of the Penn Bank
were returned by the Farmers Bank. AS to the
aggregate amount of che checks thus returned,
the Farmers officials refuse to make statement
but as the aggregate of exchanges at the clear
ing house was little below those of yesterday,
the total would not have been nearly so large as
usual in ordinary times. The Penn had out a
very large amount of checks, but for some days
past they had fallen off greatly.

June, and has conducted what is known as a
syndicate business. Customers left margins
with him, but he bought and sold at his own
discretion accounting to his customers for
profits when accountings were asked The sue
cess of his speculations has been so wonder
full that it has aroused suspicion since his de-
parture from the city. He had paid profits on
deposits left with him amounting in many cases
to more than 50 per cent in a month Attracted

If Mr. Peoile shall be finally unseated it will be
because during the hours of recess between the

TO bear upon the minds of certain Democrats
as to reverse the vote taken in the House yes
terday and which would have been made CON
elusive but for the lack of one vote upon the
motion to adjourn. The vote upon the reso-
luton confirming Mr.. Peelle in his seat stood
12l to III, twenty-seyen Democrats voting
with the Republicans, but Mr. Springer
changed his vote moved a reconsideration,
and then an adjournment was carried by l19

greatly intensified. How any man, with self
respect, can take and occupy seat in
Congress under such circumstances is beyond
our apprehension. We have hopes, however,
that to-day the House of Representatives will
confirm their action of yesterday, and put the
seal of condemnation upon the most unblush-
ing case of seat-stealing ever known in con-
oressional history.

Denial from Mr.. Baldwin,

New YORK. May 21.Ex-P President Baldwin
says the allegations that he obtained loans and
hypothecated securities of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad ARE untrue 1t is also untrue
that he used Henderson bridge bonds to procure
bonds for his own use. He did endeavor to up
hold the credit of the company by sustaining
the price of the stock but the directors did not
agree with him, and he made good a difference
of $4,000 The floating debt of the company
was more than covered by the present value OF
securities held by the road. This is the whole
story The directors of the road corroborate
