II judicial investigation bears out
the reported circumstances surrounding
the killing Of Warrington by johnson, at
@iddletown on Saturday night, Sheriff
Martin may yet have moose to adjust
before his official term expires. From all
that has been learned thus far Johnson's
deed was nothing short OF deliberate
aud unprovoked assassination, rendered
the more heinous by the time and
place where 1t was perpetrated-a.
the very door Of church and imme.
diately after season of devotion and
prayer. While the gospel Of peace and
good will was being preached and songs
OF praise to Him who hath said "Thou
shall not kill" were ascending from the
little congregation there, the assassin
was nursing Lis murderous re-
solve and awaiting the dismissal
Of the assemblaee to copsummate
his ocwardiy and deadly assauit upon
the man whose better qualities had
doubtless made his successful rival in
love. Judging from the evidence which
has thus far been made public the Mid
dlstcwn murder was the most at.ooious
and dsstsrdly that has occurred in this
county since Thomas hacked his wifs's
head off and then made such botch Of
cutting his own throat. But Johnson had
not even the poor excuse of drunkenness
behind which to take refuge.

America will await with interest the
sequel to the demonstration made Mon.
dsy BY the workingmen OF London. 1t
may mean much or little time will
show. II certainly does seem at this dis
tanoe, however, as though Gladstone has
such powerful popular following that
the defeat Of the franchise bill would
not carry with It his forced re-
urement from power Int rather
that, whatever be the fate Of that meAs-
ure, he will be allowed to carry out the
the wish Of his old age and to step down
and ont Of his own free will and to carry
with him into private life the bsnediotiops
OF the Roglish people.
The issue OF the hour, however, now
dwarfs the men who are srrAysd against
each other for the Leadership. The fran
ohise bill proposes to extend the elective
franchise to 100000 agricultural
laborers. The houss Of lords and the
conservative commons do not exactly op-
pose the LIN; they have substan-
tally agreed to accept it pro-
vided they are to be assured before
hand how and where these 1000, 900
additional voters are to be distributed.
They entertain fears that, II they do not
secure an acceptable redistribution of
electors before agreeing to such an
addition to their numbers, the Liberals
will gerrymsnder many OF them
out Of office. This is the ground
upon which the Peers have based their
rejection Of the franchise bill and 1t does
not seem altogether an unreasonable
stand. But the people demanding en-
franchisement seem disposed to be obsti.
nate enough to remember that the
Lords and Conservative Commons would
oppose the bill In toto II they felt
ss strong as they did only a. few years
ago and they may in turn use their
power to coerce the peers into an unoon-
ditional surrender. Whether the de.
monsirstion of yesterday means this
muoh-whether It means . revolution or
eimply an ebullttion-remsins 10 be seen.

Der GOTH
On these magnificent grounds, the most con-
venient ofaccess in the city, have recently been
| erected series of splendid buildings that will
be occupied by the Society for the holding of
its exhibitions for the next ten years.
Already the indications are satisfactory that
this will be not only the most complete exhibit
ton ever held by the Agricultural Society," but
in addition the State Poultry Society, the State
Horticultural Society, and the Philadelphia
Kennel Club will combine varied attractions,
which, together with the State Bec.keepers'
Association and the Women's Silk Culture
Association, will all constitute a display not
hitherto witnessed in this locality Fine herds
ofcattle, horses, sheep and swine, large amounts,
of seeds, flowers and machinery will all be on
exhibition, and the Dog Show, a new feature,
can not fail to be a source of attraction and
qualification to the many thousands who will be
certain to be in attendance ..

The young ladies in and near Bel Air gave
another Leap Year ball, at the Town Hall, Mon
day night The room was well filled but not
overcrowded and the ladies unite in declaring
that they had "lovely time" George Lyle
and his solemn-looking companion Charles
Bond who with their violin and bass-yiol con-
stitute the Bel Air string band, furnished the old
familiar music, to whose lively measures merry
feet have tripped for dozen years or more =
Indeed, to many, eance In Bel Air would seem
strange, unless the figures were called by
by George Lyle.
Although this was called a Leap Year ball,
many OF the gentlemen, fearing they would be
left as aesthetic wall flowers, broke through the
prescribed custom and condesccnded to
ask the ladies to dance with them, instead of
waiting for the ladies to take the initiative
Consequently, everybody enjoyed themselves.
Many strangers were present from Baltimore
city, Baltimore county and elsewhere, among
whom were Misses Fannie Calwell, Bessie Flem.
ing, Bessie Gale, Agnes Cover, Mrs. Crabbe,
Miss Zimmerman, Messrs. j. H. Preston, VIM.

Hollingsworth Collins, Charles Reese, Thomas

THE TALLAPoosA.-The Philadelphia
Times thinks the Republican hopes of a vigor-
GUS foreign policy have come to an untimey
end by the sinking of the United States
steamer Tallapoosa, which occurred in Vine
yard Sound, last week, by collision with a
coal schooner. All her men but two have been
accounted for. The Times says there could
be no question ofthe destructveness of the
Tallapoosa. During lis career of twenty-one
years it has probably run down and sunk
more vessels than any other war steamer on
theglobe. The usefulness of such destructive
craft in case of war can easily be understood.
1t would only have been necessary to send it
rolling about among hostile fleet to have
sent every one of the vessels composing it to
the bottom without unnecessary delay and
with great loss of life and property 10 the
enemy.

will be opened on the 18th of October. The
school heretofore held in the basement of the
NJ. P. Church at Level has been discontinued,
and school will be opened instead there
of in Rock Run School house. Cooksville
school, Sd district, and Baptist, 4th district,
have been closed for want of sufficient number
ofpupils to justify the school board in opening
them. The school at Stafford has also been
discontinued, the rented room in which it has
been held being now occupied as a tenant house.
Three additional colorcd schools will also pro-
badly be opened during the ensuing school year.
The trustees have organized in nearly all the

After an absence of three years l lately paid a

Messrs. j. Miller q Bro who also own the lumber
yard warehouse and one of the stores. They are
an enterprising firm and are doing much towards

prominent citizens are Mrs. Myers, Henry Wal
lick, proprietor of the hQtel, and DR.. Heistaud-.
Many of the citizens are engaged In manufacture

to inches in thickness, was compactly placed
on the bottom. They were covered by foot of
well broken stone, in width about IL feet. The
sides were firmly secured by earth well pounded,
and sloped to the gutter, making altogether the
most complete turnpike have ever seen in our
