The situation in Pennsylvania is thus
very graphically pictured by our esteemed
Mugwump contemporary, the New York
E0ening Post: Reports from Pennsyl-
vania show that the Republican canvass
for the election of Col. Matt Quay TO the
Treasurership is dragging so heavily that
there are fears that even last years Re-
publican majority OF $1,000 may not be
large enough to save the party from de-
feat. We should rejoice to have these
reports verified by the result in Novem-
Der, but we have little hope that they will
be. A state that could give 81 900 majorl-
tY FOR such a candidate as Mr.. Blaine
ought 10 take Col. Quay without grunb-
ling. II Pennsylvania Republicans had
shown any squeamishness last year, Quay
would not have been put before them now.
IL was because they grew 50 enthusiastic
over Blaine that the Colonel thought they
would rejoice at an opportunity to vote
for him. He left out Of the account the
protection issue, which is not involved in
his candidacy, and this may prove to have
been a serious error"

No NEED FOR THE POOL.
MERCHANTS SATISFIED WITH
WESTERN RATES.
The Withdrawal OF shipping Privileges
Puts Savannah In Better Condition
to Extend Her Trade-InterIOr Cities
Want "A Merchants Pool.

The Withdrawal OF shipping Privileges
Puts Savannah In a Better Condition
TO Extend Her Trade-InteriOr Cities
! Want n Merchants Pool.
The withdrawal OF the reshipping priv
/ ilege from the merchants Of the Southern
/ cities by the Southern Railway and
steamship Association has provoked de-
cided opposition. savannah merchants
are about the only exception.
When the privilege was granted a few
weeks ago the merchants of the interior
cities of the State expressed them
selves as highly pleased. The
privilege was granted at the
tim ewhen the Railroad Commissioners
were considering the petition Of the rail-
roads for an increase Of rates on certain
classes Of freight. No one has said that
there was anything more than
sion by the roads at
TIE moment that their petition was pend
ing before the commission. When the
privilege was granted Atlanta business
men and others of the interior cities with
drew their protest 20 the petition of the
transportation companies and accepted
the privilege of Tebilling goods as an
offset 20 the advance in rates asked for.
savannah telt at the time that she was
being deserted by her allies, the other
cities OF the State, who were caught by
the bait held out by the railroads. Now,
only few weeks since the increase in
rates was granted, the privilege
Is withdrawn. Savannah was indif-
terent about the privilege and
was satisfied with the slight increase
which the commissioners allowed. Re-
billing benefited the interior cities by per-
hitting the merchants TO ship IA carload
of provisions or grain from Atlanta, for
instance, to Augusta at a through rate,
which Is much less than the local rate.
This applied, OF course, only to cOnsign-
ments originally shipped direct from
Chicago or some other terminal point.
Savannah merchants derived no nOticea-
bic advantage, because very little mer-
chandise came here by all rail routes.
Augusta merchants say that the with
drawal OF the privilege will shut them
out of a large territory which they have
recently worked TO advantage.
Atlanta Is makinga big kick. The rate
from Chicago to Augusta on bacon was &c.
less than the rate to Atlanta, and to Sa-
vannah l0c. less than to Atlanta, although
hauled through that city TO the other two
points. Nashville is allowed to retain
her full reshipping privileges, but Chat
tanooga, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Sa-
Yannah and Charleston lose them.
Savannah has now rate of 2Sc. per
hundred on provisions from Chicago.
They are packed and go to Baltimore by
rail, and from there here by water.
The rate by rail from Chicago to
Atlanta on provisions is Soc, just
double the rate to Savannah. With this
advantage, which is the result of com
petition by water, Savannah's merchants
feel perfectly able to take care of them
selves and more than ever in a position
to extend their trade.

rum me NetO lOfh Gun.
PHILADELPHIA, July 9.-The report OF
pistol rang out at 1903 Deacon street
this morning. Then two girls ran wildly
out into the street, shrieking ''Murder''
A policeman ran into the house, and in
the third story front room he found girl
lying on the floor gasping for breath.
Blood was flowing from wound in her
head. In one hand she held pistol.
Before physician could reach the spot

mer, friend living in the neIshbOrhoOd
Carrie was only 10 years old.
/ The brother, who went away early
this morning, left his pistol in
bureau drawer. Carrie began TO toy
with the pistol, and when her sister eX-
pOstulated she laughed and said, 81 am
not afraid" She then inserted some
cartridges in the chambers. When Miss
/ Mortimer came in almost the first words
she said were, 81 want to show you some
thing" and held out her hand. On the
engagement finger was ring.
"Who gave it TO you? the Evans girls
asked.
Tony" said Miss Mortimer, repeating
the name of young man who had been
devoted in his attentions to Carrie Evans,
and who had promised to marry her.
| Carrie turned pale at the proof of her
| lovers perfdy. She uttered short CRY,
/ her lips quiVered, and she could hardly
control herself enough to ask in a husky
voice: Did Tony give it to y0ul' Then
her hand moved mechanically To the pis-
| toll, which lay on table beside her.
Miss Mortimer saw the movement, aud
started to her feet, saying "TO be sure he
| did,
Carrie grasped the pistol and cooked it.
! Then, springing to her feet, she held the
weapon out at arms length, and said,
| ''Then I'll shoot you"
Miss Mortimer and Phoebe ran scream
/ ing from the room, and as they disap-
/ peared through the door they heard Carrie
/ cry:
"Then if l can't shoot you I'll shoot my
self"
There was a loud report, and the girl
| fell heavily to the floor. The ball had en-
tered her head and lodged in the brain.

How the Late DE-. osgOod Perpetusted
His Best-L0Ved sentiments.


BRIDGEPoRT, July Flour miles
west OF Bridgeport centre is sWaldstein,"
the home of the late Rev. DR.. Samuel

church of the Messiah in New York city.
When DR.. OsgOod purchased the place,
some thirty years ago, it was a wilder
ness, covered wmh cedars and stones
and suitable only Nor pasture lot. Upon
it he built a cottage, and it was soon
transformed. TBeIs9 was upon portion
Of the grounds IA h4dge of rocks eddy
arranged, which DR.. OsgOOd made
use OF to testify his admiration for the
great poets of the world. On separate
rocks at various angles he carved in the
most graceful mannsT the names of
Homer, Virgil, Dante, TassO, Petrarch,
shakespeare, Milton. CorneIlle, Alferi,
Schiller Chaucer, GoeEsle, Wudsworth.
Ke5le, Scott, Emerson, Longtelow, and
Bryant, and surrounded them with trees
and shrubbeTy in most beautiful and pic
turesque combinations. Over them is
placed the inscription "The groves were
Gods first temples" Upon another rock
near the path is carved the saving "Know
Thyselt," inscribed over the entrance to
the temple at Delphi. The doctor re-
garded this utterance as the most sug-
gestiYe which ever proceeded from the
mind OF man.
Another portion of the grounds is de-
voted to religious subjects. One rock is
inscribed ITO God" the next TO "Our
Father" and a third sin Christi Three
other stones compose an outdoor pulpit.
on one side of which is carved the words
God is love" and on the other the words
Glad tidings." Here are also to be seen,
upon natural monuments of stones, quota
ions from the Bible, such as Blessed are
the pure in heart, for they shall see God"
Honor thy father and thy mother"
Where the spirit of the Lord is there is
liberty" On other rocks there are CHS
eled 'The Holy SPIRIT "The Com
i0rter." On an elevation a long
stone is inscribed to ''The Prophets" and
another is marked with "Watch and
Pray" AT the base Of this knoll, in let
tiers of stone, may be read the words. ''TO
Do Justly-LOve. Mercy, and Walk
Humby With Thy God" which Dr.
Osgood considered a perfect description
Ot the Christian character. This region
is denOminated Carmel" and the whole
ground is here dedicated $40 Truth and ID
Students Offering" which sentence is
carved upon the middle ledge of rocks.
On long stone under bank are seen
the words, Consider the lilies of the

dedicated by him TO sentiment on one

cred the Means of Steering Balloon.
From me Neio York Herald.
A nervous little man was hard at work
under the warm rays Of the sun on the
parade ground on Governors island yes
terday afternoon. 1t was Mr.. n. Helmer.
the inventor OF new aerial machine, and
he was preparing his apparatus for a
trial trip. A few persons, invited to wit
ness the experiment, were present.
hr. Helmer's balloon is long, snake.
Ike arrangement, as large around as an
ordinary flour barrel, and its length is 1850
feet. The gas with which il was being in
flated was generated by an apparatus
erected for the purpose by the owner OF
the air ship. Mr.. Helmer explained
his theory TO a reporter. He said
that his long thin balloon
would float horizontally In the air. Ii
would be moved by a propeller wheel, and
as It would 20 headf0remOst, the surface
presented for resistance would be very
small. the balloon was made Of gold
beater's skin, which the inventor said was
much lighter and better than oiled skin.
wooden rod, iointed like fishing rod,
extended the whole length of the balloon.
To this rod were attached the small
ropes intended 70 sustain the car and
propelling and steering apparatus. Mr..
helmer claimed that be could steer his
AIR ship against head wind in any di-
rection he pleased, and he believed that
he could 90 from this city to Albany and
return within an hour. The propeller
wheel will be run by means OF a gas
burning engine. the slight amount OF gas
required for the purpose being drawn
from the balloon.
The Initiation Of the balloon commenced
nj O'Clock. AT 5 the long bag was about
half filed. Then IL was discovered that
II leaked. Mr.. Helmer regretted having
TO disapnOint the spectators, and he
said he would be unable 10 float his bal
loon until he could stop the leak.
Il have spent my last dollar,r he added
I'm constructing this machine, and now
must go 10 work and earn some more
money 70 continue my experiments. Ny
mind is set upon this thing. and shall
succeed. Some day you will see my bal
looms making regular trips between Eu-
